We will be sending key players from our Relationship Management team to the WSAA 16th Annual Conference in Palm Springs with the goal of strengthening and growing current relationships, as well as expanding our opportunities with potential partners.

As WSAA Members, attending this conference is a no-brainer, especially since we attend every year. This year is different, as our Relationship Management team is armed with new tools to enable our partners to do more for their merchants. We are hyper-focused on nurturing our relationships and providing our partners and merchants with whatever they need to be successful.

Base Commerce, LLC, a technology-driven payment processing company specializing in bankcard and ACH payment processing solutions, has moved into a larger facility to accommodate its rapidly growing operations. The company’s new headquarters at 5055 E. Washington Street, Suite 300, Phoenix, AZ 85034 is close to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, making it a convenient location for meetings with clients, banking partners, and prospective clients.

In tandem with the relocation, Base Commerce has launched a new brand to better represent its posture in the market as an innovative industry leader. Additionally, Base Commerce will be dropping the “Commerce” appendage to its name for external communication.

“Our double-digit year-over-year growth in recent years necessitated the move to a larger facility to ensure we can continue to provide the exceptional service and support we’re known for in the payments industry,” said David Schoenecker, Chief Operating Officer at Base Commerce. “And, as we begin our second decade as a leading provider of payment acceptance solutions, it’s the perfect time to update the Base brand.”

Base serves clients in a wide range of industries including property management, consumer finance and collections, tolling, parking and transportation, and charitable giving. These organizations leverage the company’s advanced payments technology and services to streamline payment acceptance and provide a more fluid experience for their customers.

“Our merchants and business partners have always referred to us simply as Base, so adopting that handle more formally as we update our visual identity makes sense,” added Schoenecker “We feel that all of the changes we’re making send a strong signal to the industry that we’re charging into our next 10 years with the same energy, enthusiasm, and innovative spirit that established us as a leader in our field in 2008.”

We’re thrilled to have them as a new strategic partner as we continue on our growth trajectory.”

Base Commerce provides advanced payments technology and services to businesses in a wide range of industries including property management, consumer finance and collections, tolling, parking and transportation, charitable giving, and many more. The company has experienced rapid expansion in recent years and continues to establish relationships with new business partners and enhance its offerings to support that growth.

“The rapid evolution of technology is having a major impact on the banking space, but specifically in the realm of payments,” said Steve Miller, President and CEO at Fresno First Bank. “It is important for the bank to find partners who understand these market shifts and know how to stay ahead of the technology curve. Base Commerce has the talent, progressive mindset, and technology stack to enable us to compete effectively in the ever-evolving payments space.”

Base Commerce will be sending 5 members of their executive staff to attend ETA Transact 2019 this year in Las Vegas. Armed with Sales and Business Development this year, the dynamic has dramatically shifted for Base Commerce. With the company’s focus on delivering an incredible customer experience, the goal for attending ETA this year will be driven by that focus.

ETA Transact has always been the event that our banking and payment partners attend, and this year is no different. The only difference is that we will be bringing new members of our executive staff this year, making introductions, and discussing the future and how Base Commerce will be delivering just that.

If you’re going to be there, let us know. Let’s connect and talk about how Base Commerce can help your goals for 2019.

Base Commerce, LLC, a technology-driven payment processing company specializing in ACH and bankcard payment solutions, has appointed David Schoenecker to the position of Chief Operating Officer. Previously Chief Marketing Officer, Schoenecker was originally brought in to develop the company’s marketing strategy and to play a key role in helping the organization achieve aggressive sales growth objectives.

“From his first day in the office over two years ago, David’s commitment to the company’s success was made vividly clear,” said President and CEO Brian Bonfiglio. “He rolled up his sleeves and immersed himself not just in developing our marketing infrastructure, but in all aspects of the company, from business operations and strategic planning, to the raising of capital and shaping of our internal culture. This new title is fitting and more accurately reflects the breadth and depth of his contribution at Base Commerce.”

A pioneer and leader in the payment processing industry for more than a decade, Base Commerce has recently experienced double-digit year-over-year growth, due in part to a more proactive marketing and sales stance spearheaded by Schoenecker.
