Spencer County Regional Chamber Member Benefit Helping Local Businesses Beat Recession

In an effort to increase value to their members, the Spencer County Chamber decided to look into a regional program with Infintech, a local credit card processing company.  Infintech is growing through its partnerships with Chambers of Commerce.  By aggregating members of these organizations together, Infintech can offer rates competitive to those typically awarded to large corporations.  Infintech ensures that each chamber member is receiving the lowest rate possible from Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express.

The success of the program, which started with the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber four years ago, helped Infintech earn the state-wide endorsement from the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Executives. Former KCCE Executive Director Aaron Cox, who was instrumental in establishing the partnership earlier this year, said business members are saving anywhere from 15 to 50 percent in the first two months of the program.  "The biggest difference is there aren't any huge fluctuations. It's a set fee so you pay exactly what the credit card company charges with a small percentage," he said.  Ryan Rybolt, President of Infintech spoke of the chamber program objective; "We're using the buying power of an entire community to drive down the cost for individual businesses.”  The program is a growing success throughout the state of Kentucky.  In addition to Spencer County, other chambers taking advantage of the program include, Greater Owensboro Chamber, Danville/Boyle County Chamber, Pike County Chamber and Bardstown Chamber.

With the momentum rising, Spencer County realized this program would be worth taking the time to look into. An important benefit of the Infintech Merchant Services Program is the fact that each chamber has its own local representative. They will take the time to meet with you, understand your business and help you find the most cost effective way to accept credit cards. Infintech ensures that each chamber member is receiving the lowest rate possible from Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Also, there are no hidden fees or costs. The pricing model is transparent to every cent that is being paid.
