Dear BizX Members,

The world as we know it has changed and we continue to navigate unchartered waters. Because of the economic and medical uncertainty, this can be a very scary time.

The BizX team has been fully functional, working remotely. We’re focusing on helping members, as well as, building programs and compiling information to be able to communicate with our members and the community.

In speaking to many members what we have both seen and heard is the incredible resilience, innovation and positive can-do attitude from everyone. We have been encouraged and motivated to continue to support and empower these attitudes. Additionally, we’ve heard the hardships, frustrations, and fears. We’ve been working diligently to help find solutions, brainstorm ideas and make connections to help bring comfort and peace of mind where we can.

Dear BizX Family,

I wanted to follow-up on to the letter I sent last week, as the coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to have a growing impact on our communities.

As many business-owners will tell you, the payment processing landscape is confusing – and expensive. They appoint a payment processing company to handle transactions from various channels, such as credit cards and debit cards, but rarely do they understand what is really going on behind the scenes. Often, they end up paying way more than the service warrants, but the costs of switching vendors can be so high that they are truly caught between a rock and a hard place.
