MEET THE OWNER
Tommy Kelley
Here’s a quick interview we had with Tom.
I: Tom first of all can you tell us why you decided to get into merchant processing?
T: Initially I got into merchant processing because I knew I wanted to be in business for myself. I wanted to build a business that I had control of and that would have a low overhead cost. I initially thought of residential cleaning but in the end, I chose merchant processing services I felt that with my background in corporate sales and a love for local businesses that it would be a good match. I love the idea of being able to affect people for positive.
I: Can you tell us what APSKS stands for?
T: “Advanced Processing Solutions, Kansas.” It’s a long one, so we usually just go by “APSKS.”
I: Tom, what have you found out over the years by working in merchant processing?
T: I found that by and large processing companies want merchants to be in the dark. I’ll be the first to admit that this can be a very shady industry and I’ve come across many businesses that are flat-out taken advantage of. Well, I knew that I didn’t want to be like that, even if I didn’t make a lot of money but was able to take care of my family I would be happy to provide a service at a reasonable cost that I knew the big banks or other out of state companies would not be able to do. They simply don’t have the local presence or the care that my company would have for other local businesses.
I: Tom, you seem like a seasoned pro. How long have you been doing this?
T: I’ve been in the merchant processing industry for 8 years. I started off by working with another local company but didn’t like the ethics they engaged in. I thought to myself, "I can do the same thing maybe on a smaller scale, but I can do it honestly and feel good about myself."
I: What’s your biggest challenge, Tom?
T: Well, simply put, just getting companies to allow me the opportunity to sit down with them. There are so many credit card processing companies out there that people are simply bombarded. They don’t have the time or desire to listen, and some have been burnt by past experiences. Nevertheless, companies that do listen to take the time to sit down with me find out that we are truly different; we’re engaged, we're honest, we’re very unique and like them, we are a local business!
I: Thanks for visiting with us today Tom and thanks for telling us about APS Kansas.
T: You’re very welcome!
