Proudly supporting small business owners in the Greater Atlanta area

In August, we teamed up with R&B star, Musiq Soulchild, to launch the Open for Small Business program* which highlights 4 entrepreneurs making a difference in their communities and connects small businesses with the resources they need to grow and thrive.

For more than 30 years, we’ve been a global leader in payment processing for organizations of all sizes – which is why we know that managing and growing a small business takes knowledge, persistence, and determination. We’ve developed a broad range of scalable payment solutions* and knowledge resources* to support entrepreneurs and ensure they have exceptional experiences.

We are proud of the success of the campaign so far and look forward to further community connections and small business support in the coming months. Over the last two months, 600 local businesses have been nominated by their fans – showing the outpouring of support for small businesses in communities across the country.

When asked about the small business initiative, Elavon CEO Jamie Walker said, “Small businesses have always been at the center of what we do, and we’re proud to support these pillars of their local communities.”

At work

Building and promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace helps us identify the best talent to meet the changing needs of the people we reach.

In the community

We support causes that strengthen the communities in which we live, work and play by investing in the future while being a socially responsible corporate citizen.

 

 

In business

Diversity is a business imperative, and we believe the economy is stronger because of the rich differences and shared experiences of the customers we serve.

Year Up interns attend lunch with Greg Cunningham and Tim Welsh to
celebrate 10 years of partnership with U.S. Bank and Elavon

In September, current Year Up interns joined U.S. Bank Chief Diversity Officer, Greg Cunningham, and Vice Chair, Consumer and Business Banking, Tim Welsh, to share their “why” impact stories with our leaders and hear firsthand the work that U.S. Bank/Elavon is doing to be an advocate for their future careers and community. “Each of these future leaders has a story as to why they are participating in the internship program but what struck me was that each of them had so much perseverance, resilience and outstanding work ethic” said Tim Welsh.

This event was held as part of a larger celebration of the 10-year anniversary of partnership* between Year Up, U.S. Bank and Elavon. Over the past decade, we have worked together to provide a 100% tuition-free job training and internship programs for young adults in the Greater Atlanta area. Since 2012, we have hosted 144 interns and hired 51 of them to full time employment, in roles like IT desktop support technician, quality assurance analyst, sales support representative, scrum master, and project manager.

“The Year Up students we met with were so impressive. Each of these young adults is working hard to pursue their career dreams and I’m so grateful U.S. Bank and Elavon have been able to support them along the way” said Greg Cunningham.

Investing in veteran and military connected entrepreneurs with Spouse-ly

In May 2022, we joined forces with Spouse-ly* – a one-of-a-kind online marketplace dedicated to promoting products and services created by military and first responder families, while enabling consumers worldwide to shop small and create a big impact. From empowering individual service members to helping veterans grow their businesses, U.S. Bank and Elavon are committed to supporting their financial needs and goals, every step of the way. We are proud to support Spouse-ly, and its mission to champion the veteran-owned and military-connected small business community.
