About Us

The team behind PCI Booking started out together at another company, running an online fax service. Some of those faxes contained credit card data and needed to be handled under PCI compliance, and in solving that problem we realised something bigger: there was a real need to properly manage, or orchestrate, all of the features, functions and services relating to payments.

We started building. In 2016 we released the first iteration of PCI Shield to the travel industry, which more than any other sector requires constant interconnectivity between different entities to relay reservation and card details. As more customers came on board, the product reshaped to cover the full range of payment functions our clients needed.

The volume tells the story. By the end of 2017 we were processing more than 2M cards per month. 3M by the end of 2018. 4M by the end of 2019. Nearly 6M per month by the end of 2021, following the dip the travel industry took in 2020. Today, PCI Booking handles more than 500 million cards per year.

In 2018 the faxing company was acquired and PCI Booking was spun out as a standalone business. We’ve stayed focused on what we do best: PCI compliance, tokenization and payment infrastructure built for the realities of travel and hospitality. Our sister brand Orchestra extends the same underlying technology to other industries and use cases.

PCI Booking is headquartered in the Republic of Ireland with team members in several locations around the world, and our clients operate on every continent. Except Antarctica. No need for credit cards there.
