U.S. Bank is proud to partner with the GSBA to bring its members an exclusive opportunity: discounted credit card processing services that not only help your business thrive—but also give back to the community.

In today’s fast-paced economy, every dollar counts. Whether you’re a small business owner just starting out or a seasoned entrepreneur looking to scale, managing your payment processing costs can make a significant difference to your bottom line. That’s why U.S. Bank, in collaboration with Elavon, is offering GSBA members access to cutting-edge payment solutions at a reduced rate—while also supporting the GSBA with every transaction.

A Partnership That Pays It Forward

This partnership is more than just a financial benefit—it’s a commitment to community resilience. A portion of the card processing fees paid by participating businesses will be donated directly to the GSBA. The GSBA provides critical assistance to LGBTQ+ and allied small businesses.

By choosing U.S. Bank for your payment processing needs, you’re not only optimizing your operations—you’re also investing in the strength and sustainability of our local business community.
