Americollect is PCI DSS Compliant!
Americollect is PCI DSS compliant! A few of our clients have recently asked if Americollect is PCI DSS compliant and we are. What is PCI DSS? The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a worldwide information security standard defined by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. The standard was created to help organizations that process credit card payments prevent credit card fraud through increased controls around data and its exposure to compromise. To put that in laymen’s terms, our credit card processing
is secure.

Blood Center of Wisconsin and Americollect
Team up for the 2nd Year!
Americollect employees
help give the gift of life. Often times
we hear, “you can’t get blood
out of a turnip!” We like to say
you can get blood out of a collector!
Americollect employees
continue to support the health of the
community by donating blood on behalf
of the Blood Center of Wisconsin. Americollect
teamed up with the Manitowoc branch of
US Bank for the annual Blood Drive on
August 30, 2007.
Julie Bruckschen, Call Center Production
Manager for Americollect led the team
to another successful year. This year
the Best Western in Manitowoc very graciously
donated a conference room for the cause,
and we are very proud to announce that
we had 46 donors participate in the drive.
Americollect is proud to have had 16 of
its own staff members regularly donate
blood.
The blood that is collected
by The Blood Center of Wisconsin supports
the patients and families of Holy Family
Hospital in Manitowoc, Aurora in Two Rivers,
St. Nicholas Hospital in Sheboygan, in
addition to other hospitals in southeastern
Wisconsin. Almost anyone can donate blood.
It takes only one hour and with one donation,
a single person can save up to three lives.
Would you like
to help us next year? Email Julie@americollect.com
and let us know if you donated blood during
our blood drive! Maybe your office can
challenge our office for the number of
pints given!

MANITOWOC -- When
Carol Green gets tired from sitting at
her desk all day long, she can join fellow
employees on a scheduled energy walk.
"To get outside in the fresh air
-- even if it's cold -- is a nice break,"
Green said. And when her stomach starts
to growl, she can choose a healthy snack
from the company's vending machine.
Green is the front office receipt manager
at Americollect Inc., a Manitowoc collection
agency, that is among growing numbers
of companies encouraging their employees
to lead healthy lifestyles. "Many
of the healthy ideas come from the employees
themselves," said Julie Bruckschen,
call center production manager and coordinator
of the company's Healthy Work Environment
program, now in its second year.
