Failure to have proper SSL set up can lead to PCI compliancy violation fines from $5,000 to $100,000 per month! The way it works is the payment brand such as VISA or Mastercard fines the acquiring bank, and the acquiring bank passes this fine down to the merchant services provider, which gets passed down to you as the merchant.
