Credit card processing company receives rare endorsement from one of the largest and most successful chambers in the Southeast

March 28, 2008 (FPRC) -- Access Payment Solutions (Access), a Gwinnett-based credit card payment processing company, recently received endorsement from the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce as the Chamber’s preferred credit card processor for the Chamber and its more than 2,700 members.

Endorsements from chambers of commerce are uncommon. Access is only the third recipient to receive an endorsement from the Gwinnett Chamber, recently named one of the top three large Chambers in the U.S. according to the American Chamber of Commerce Executives.

As the preferred credit card processing company of the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce, Access Payment Solutions will leverage its technologies to provide Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce members’ unparalleled processing services at a rate previously unavailable to each member individually.

"We understand our members’ need for electronic payment processing will continue to grow and are tapping into the technologies and expertise of Access Payment Solutions to give our members ‘big business’ benefits that they would not have without the Chamber," said Vince DeSilva, Vice President of Member Services for the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce.

"This endorsement is monumental for us," said Richard Roscher, President of Access Payment Solutions. "It solidifies our commitment to provide services to area businesses with integrity and – most of all – great savings. The endorsement not only rewards us, but local businesses as well."

The endorsement begins a new strategic alliance between the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce and Access Payment Solutions that will include offerings to local retail merchants to encourage Chamber involvement.

"We are looking forward to teaming with Access to provide programs that will stimulate the retail sector of Gwinnett County by sending Chamber members to local retail locations," said Jim Maran, President and CEO. More information on these proposed programs is expected to be unveiled this spring.
