| Who is Slice? |
| Slice is a registered Independent Sales Organization of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., based in Concord, California. Slice provides the technology and infrastructure needed to process credit card payments in accordance with strict Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance standards. Slice tightly integrates Clover Point of Sale (POS) payment processing systems with Wells Fargo’s credit card processing infrastructure to ensure your business and customer data is protected from cyber attack and fraud. |
| Slice – Clover – Integration Features |
| End-to-End Encryption |
| Clover POS systems are designed to encrypt cardholder data immediately at the point of sale. When integrated with Slice, this ensures that sensitive data is protected from the moment a card is swiped or inserted, maintaining encryption until it reaches the payment processor. |
| Tokenization |
| To minimize the risk of data breaches, the system uses tokenization. This process replaces actual card details with a unique token that has no exploitable value if intercepted. |
| Secure Hardware & Software |
| Both Clover devices and the Slice platform are built with security in mind. They comply with rigorous PCI standards (such as PCI DSS and PCI PTS) by using hardened operating systems, secure boot procedures, and regular security updates. |
| Regular Security Audits |
| Ongoing vulnerability scans and penetration tests are standard practice. This helps in detecting and mitigating any security gaps within the integrated system. |
| Slice – Wells Fargo – Payment Infrastructure Features |
| Robust Encryption Protocols |
| Wells Fargo’s payment infrastructure employs advanced encryption techniques during data transmission. This ensures that any cardholder data moving from the Clover/Slice environment to Wells Fargo’s systems remains confidential. |
| Secure Data Storage & Access Control |
| The infrastructure is maintained under strict access control policies and secure data storage protocols that meet or exceed PCI DSS requirements. This limits the exposure of sensitive data only to authorized systems and personnel. |
| Fraud Detection & Monitoring |
| Wells Fargo incorporates continuous fraud detection measures. These include real-time monitoring, anomaly detection, and other security mechanisms that support compliance with PCI standards. |
| Comprehensive Compliance Programs |
| The payment infrastructure undergoes regular internal and external audits. This continuous oversight ensures that the systems remain compliant with evolving PCI DSS standards and other industry security requirements. |
| Slice – Clover – Wells Fargo – Integration Benefits |
| Seamless Security Integration |
| The combined setup—Slice integrated with Clover POS and backed by Wells Fargo’s secure payment infrastructure—creates a multi-layered defense system. This design protects cardholder data throughout the entire payment lifecycle, from the moment of capture at the POS through to processing and settlement. |
| PCI DSS Adherence |
| Both the Clover/Slice partnership and Wells Fargo’s infrastructure maintain adherence to PCI DSS standards through encryption, tokenization, secure data management, and regular auditing practices. This minimizes the risk of fraud and data breaches while ensuring that businesses and customers remain protected. |
| These PCI compliance features collectively create a secure payment environment, making it easier for businesses to manage transactions confidently and maintain trust with their customers. |
