This development underscores MoonPay’s dedication to maintaining rigorous security protocols within the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
The updated PCI DSS 4.0.1 framework, while not introducing any new requirements, refines the previous standards by enhancing clarity, guiding implementation, and promoting consistent security practices across organizations. This refinement is crucial for companies that prioritize customer trust and security in their transactions.

Together, these accreditations create one of the most comprehensive compliance frameworks in the cryptocurrency industry, positioning MoonPay as a leader in financial security.
Doug Innocenti, the Chief Information Security Officer at MoonPay, highlighted the company’s proactive stance on security, stating, “Re-certifying under PCI DSS 4.0.1 reflects our continued commitment to security excellence. As the standard evolves, so do we — staying ahead of changes so our customers can transact with confidence.”
As MoonPay broadens its offerings in the crypto payment landscape, this certification reinforces its commitment to providing a secure and dependable environment for buying and selling digital assets.
