Spotlight on Lisa McCune with Affinity24
Switching merchant processing companies can be tedious and stressful, and during these times nobody wants to do this unless they have to. OR, if they will be saving a SIGNIFICANT amount of money like they can with Lisa McCune of Affinity24.
During this week’s morning meeting, Lisa gave us the lowdown on how she has spent more than 40 years in the business earning the nickname “The Secret Weapon” with her clients and associates. Lisa has the ability to see through the shine and glitz, and reveals where the hidden fees are tucked away. She can navigate removing them completely from the equation, and can save her clients SERIOUS money, every single month.
Aside from the refreshing confidence and savings that come from working with Lisa, Affinity24 has welcomed Clover’s contactless processing since before the onset of COVID. To be the best, you have to stay on top of what’s available to merchants, and Affinity24 is no stranger to keeping their fingers on the pulse of new releases in processing equipment.
Affinity24 also offers:
· Decades of experience
· Competitive rates
· Secure processing—protects small businesses
· Best technology available
· Relationships with multiple processors—provides the customer with more options
· Credit card processing tailored specifically for your needs, eliminating unnecessary fees
· LOCAL customer service with decades of experience

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Happy Friday EAOC!
We had a lighter than usual turn out Wednesday, and hope to see a full house at our next in person meeting! We ARE NOT meeting next week and will see everyone in person at the Green Parrot on April the 23rd.
This week's presentation was from Lisa McCune with Affinity24 Software, who can take care of all of your credit and debit card processing, automatic invoicing, and ACH deposits. Lisa certainly saved me a lot of money and I'm sure she can save your favorite restaurant or dry cleaner money, too. Always have a few of our Membership Directories on hand to give out when we see someone who can benefit by using one of our members.
I hope everyone has a great Palm and Easter Sunday, and we'll see everyone on the 23rd.
Have a great weekend!
- Ron
