In March 2024, we formalized a strategic partnership with USBank and Elavon—a decision that represents a significant leap forward for both our company and the clients we serve. This collaboration isn’t just a financial arrangement; it’s a direct channel for empowering small and mid-sized businesses in Arizona by giving them access to world-class payment processing and banking services that drive growth, increase security, and save money.

Why This Partnership Matters

Having a nationally respected financial institution like USBank as a business partner is a game-changer. For many small and minority-owned businesses, access to capital and favorable banking terms can be a significant hurdle. Through this partnership, we’ve opened doors to funding opportunities that might not have been available to us elsewhere. This means better financing options for equipment, expansion, and operational needs—not just for us but for our clients as well.

Elavon, acquired by USBank in 2001, is one of the leading payment processors in the world, known for offering lower credit card swipe fees and streamlined payment solutions. This is an area where many small businesses unknowingly bleed profits, often overpaying for basic merchant services. By working directly with Elavon through our partnership, we’re able to help clients reduce their transaction costs—in some cases saving them thousands of dollars annually. In competitive industries where margins are tight, those savings can make a massive difference.

Direct Benefit to Our Clients

Through this partnership, we now provide:

• Lower Merchant Processing Fees – Significantly reducing credit card swipe fees for our clients.
• Secure Payment Solutions – Cutting-edge technology that protects transactions and minimizes fraud risks.
• Access to Capital – Easier financing for equipment, expansion, and day-to-day cash flow.
• Streamlined Banking – Simplified banking services that integrate seamlessly with Elavon’s payment systems.

For our clients, this translates into faster payments, better rates, and fewer headaches.

Who We Recommend:

If you’re a business owner looking to improve your financial outlook, we strongly recommend connecting with two key players who have been instrumental in our success:

• Jennifer Maldonado, USBank Business Manager – Midtown Branch
  Jennifer has been a champion for small businesses, offering personalized financial solutions that are tailored to growth. Her deep understanding of the local Phoenix market and commitment to fostering economic development makes her an invaluable resource. Whether you need a business loan, a line of credit, or advice on managing your company’s finances, Jennifer can guide you through the process with care and precision.
• Andrew Bakal, Elavon Business Development Manager
  Andrew’s expertise lies in helping businesses reduce merchant fees and streamline payment processing. He has consistently helped our clients find hidden savings in their transaction structures, providing modern solutions that scale with their businesses. Andrew is not just a vendor—he’s a partner invested in seeing local businesses thrive.

Why USBank and Elavon Stand Out

USBank’s acquisition of Elavon was a strategic move aimed at capturing the loyalty of small business owners by bundling banking services with merchant processing solutions. This holistic approach has made USBank one of the most trusted financial partners for small businesses nationwide.

Their focus on customer experience, competitive rates, and cutting-edge technology positions them as leaders in the financial space. By leveraging Elavon’s payment expertise and USBank’s capital resources, businesses gain a powerful ally that can fuel long-term growth.
