Headquartered in Fremont California, US Merchant Systems was founded in 1992 by three entrepreneurs all of whom previously owned and operated small businesses. Since the company's beginning US Merchant Systems has grown into a major national provider of merchant services having served the needs of more than 100,000 businesses throughout the US. The founders, Lawrence S. Cohn- Chairman, Stuart H. Rosenbaum- CEO, and Richard L. Fenn II- COO, founded US Merchant Systems (USMS) on the principal that small businesses deserve the level of service and competitive pricing previously only available to larger companies.
In its simplest form, Ascend`s mission is to serve. We fulfill our mission by always acting in accordance with our values: respect, excellence, integrity, generosity, service, and dignity.
Founded in 1939, WESTconsin Credit Union is one of the region`s strongest financial services providers. Our history takes us back to primarily serving the Menomonie area agricultural community, then operating as Menomonie Farmers Credit Union. We expanded in membership base over the next several years and merged with other small credit unions in the region. In the summer of 1990, we recognized this growth by changing our name to WESTconsin Credit Union. Today, our field of membership footprint includes 28 counties across west central Wisconsin and east central Minnesota with offices in Altoona, Amery, Baldwin, Barron, Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire, Ellsworth, Hudson, Menomonie, New Richmond, Prescott, River Falls and Spring Valley, Wisconsin. We exist to serve the financial needs of our member-owners (accountholders) and our communities. As a not-for-profit financial services organization, we are owned and operated by and for our members. Our members receive dividends back on a daily basis in the form of low-fee products and services. In addition, our not-for-profit status enables us to operate at a lower cost than many for-profit institutions, and helps WESTconsin offer competitive loan and savings rates to our members. We`re based right here in your community, owned by community members like you. You get a higher level of personal service, and can build a long-lasting relationship with people who can help you find the best financial solutions to your unique needs.
M&T Bank is considered one of the country's most highly regarded regional banks. We were founded more than 145 years ago in Western New York, where we are still headquartered. Our parent company, Mand,T Bank Corporation, had over $55 billion in assets as of December 31, 2005 and is one of the 20 largest commercial bank holding companies in the U.S.
From our humble beginning in 1975 to today serving more than 144,000 member-owners with $4 billion in assets, there is no denying what the power of `people helping people` can accomplish. We are widely recognized within our community and the nation for our financial performance and unwavering commitment to live our name – to act ethically and operate responsibly, putting our member-owners and the communities in which they live and work ahead of pure profits. For us, doing good is essential to doing well. When we say `We`ll Find a Way,` we mean it! It is our mission to anticipate and exceed our members` needs, and it`s our vision to consistently demonstrate that Community First is a place where everybody counts, everybody cares, everybody delivers, every day!
