Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ)
The Self-Assessment Questionnaire must be completed annually by Merchants and Service Providers; eligibility to complete annual validation through self-assessment is determined by a number of factors, including payment transaction volume, Acquirer/Bank requirements, and card brand operating rules. There are multiple SAQ types available to Merchants; the type is determined by how cardholder is accepted or processed. Entities classified as a Service Provider are required to complete a SAQ Type D.
