Tenth Washington Fly-In Follows SBPA Panel at CHCI Leadership Conference Highlighting Importance of Electronic Payments for Entrepreneurs Washington, DC — Members of the Small Business
Consumers Prefer Cards Over Cash by 5-1 Margin Small Businesses Use Multiple Cards to Enjoy Wide Variety of Benefits Washington, DC — The Small Business
The Small Business Payments Alliance welcomes the preliminary approval of the Visa and Mastercard Small Business Credit Card Agreement and the certainty it provides for millions of small businesses that depend on credit cards every day.
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.
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.
