Member Spotlight

Ryan Kenny

Owner

Rocky Mountain Credit Card

Rocky Mountain Credit Card logo

What brought you to start your business or get into your industry? Like many others, I fell into the industry. I didn't even know businesses had to pay for credit card processing. Thought it was just another form of payment like checks and cash. After a few years of working with a local company, I decided I could do better on my own and help businesses save money and become more efficient.


What do you love most about what you do? What I love is that unlike most processing or POS companies, I can offer more than one product or service. I can consult and truly help each individual business. Instead of just offering one service, I can offer over a dozen!


How can the Chamber help you? I have a truly amazing offer for restaurants and bars right now. I would love referrals for chamber member's who own those to give me 15 minutes to educate and give a check and balance to see if there is a fit! There are other products that normal "processing companies" don't offer that I do, such as being able to pay vendors for your business with a credit card even if they only accept cash or check for payment.
