Thank you for your response. I am looking to confirm whether or not "PCI as a service" from SecurityMetrics is *required* by Intuit. I understand the requirement to be PCI compliant, but question the method. 

If Intuit accepts PCI attestation directly from Intuit customers, it would not make sense that they also require a PCI certification from SecurityMetrics. It is this which I am seeking clarification on. Are Quickbooks customers who use Quickbooks to take payments *required* to use SecurityMetrics and thus have no choice but to pay them? Or can they be submitted directly by the Intuit customer? 

In short, I am looking for solid confirmation as to whether or not Intuit is now forcing their customers to pay SecurityMetrics for PCI compliance. 

Thank you, 

George
