National Merchants Association Congratulates Moneris on Sale

TEMECULA, Calif., Dec. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- National Merchants Association (NMA), a global merchant advocacy group and a leader in merchant services, congratulates its processing partner Moneris USA on its announced acquisition.

"On behalf of myself and NMA, I would like to congratulate Moneris USA on its acquisition news," said NMA Founder and Chief Executive Officer Heather Petersen. "We are grateful for their considerable support and partnership over the years."

National Merchants Association, which is not part of the acquisition, will continue to process payments through its sponsorship with BMO Harris Bank, which remains active and intact.
