PCI compliance is a critical requirement in both the United States and Brazil for any business handling credit card transactions. In Brazil, this is particularly important given the country's growing e-commerce sector and regulatory focus on consumer data protection. Non-compliance can result in significant fines, loss of payment processing privileges, and reputational damage. The term is used extensively in technology, finance, and retail industries across both countries.
