Colorado members of the Small Business Payments Alliance (SBPA) applauded Governor Jared Polis’ decision to veto legislation that would have caused chaos for small businesses across Colorado. Small business owners across the state have mobilized against the bill, SB 26-134, based on concerns about its impact on local businesses that depend on credit cards and credit card rewards.

Accepting credit cards provides merchants unique benefits that generate significant
net value above and beyond the cost of acceptance.
Small businesses across the country are increasingly leveraging credit card rewards as a strategic tool to stretch budgets, manage cash flow, and reinvest in growth. From cashback on everyday purchases to travel points and discounts on essential services, credit card rewards programs have evolved beyond consumer perks into valuable business resources.
SBPA was formed in the wake of proposed changes to the electronic payments system that will jeopardize credit card access and benefits. Tradespeople, entrepreneurs, and locally-owned, independent businesses alike use credit cards to support their workers, manage their cash flow, cover operating costs, and collect rewards to re-invest in their businesses. Credit cards also ensure that their customers can make safe, secure, and convenient payments. The current competitive, free market credit card ecosystem provides major benefits to both small businesses and American consumers, and we’re making sure it stays that way.
