VANCOUVER, Wash. - Aug. 20, 2016 - PRLog -- Riverside Payments is privileged to announce their recent nominations for the Southwest Washington Business & Leadership Awards 2016. Winners will be announced at an event that will take place on September 15^th at the Hilton.

The first nomination is for 2016 Business of the year in the large business category where the Greater Vancouver Chamber of Commerce (GVCC) recognizes businesses that invest in their companies and in their communities. The second nomination is Business start-up to watch, acknowledging businesses in their first five years that are both visionary and tenacious.

Riverside quickly grew from humble beginnings into a multi-million dollar a year corporation through the hard work and dedication of founders Brandon Skinner and Jason Reese, along with the best team of executives in the industry.

"We had a vision of simplifying a complex industry by offering the best product, at the best price, with the best service nationwide," Skinner said. "Our goal of becoming the 'World's Best Merchant Service Provider' is quickly becoming a reality."

Riverside adds value for merchants across the U.S. by saving them significant sums of money every year, while improving their overall processing experience. They also offer incredible programs for non-profit organizations, receiving at-cost pricing to help as much as possible with their charitable endeavors.

A big part of the culture at Riverside is a commitment to charity, the community, and the Riverside family. What better way to marry these principles than participating in charitable events such as The Polar Plunge, The Ice Bucket Challenge, and Movember. Riverside also matches dollar-for-dollar merchant contributions to The Susan G. Komen Foundation and Dollar 4 Portland. They recently promoted one of their account executives to National PR Sales Director with the goal of becoming even more heavily involved in community events in the coming months/years.
