Inc. Magazine Ranks Arizona-Based Company No. 18

Entrust Bankcard Earns Ranking with Three-Year Sales Growth of 8,416.9%. End Quote

Phoenix-Mesa, AZ (1888PressRelease) August 24, 2011 - Inc. magazine today ranked Entrust Bankcard No.18 on its 30th annual Inc. 500, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The Mesa-based company is the highest-ranked Arizona business on the list which represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy-America's independent entrepreneurs.

From a small town of 3,000 people in rural Wisconsin, to founding a multi-million dollar company, Entrust 's CEO, Nate Reis, knows how much work goes into achieving such a prestigious recognition. Entrust Bankcard, a payment processing company focused on small businesses that have credit card sales of $10,000 to $100,000 per month, opened its doors in 2006. Since then, Reis' company has seen steady growth during the down economy.

"We are honored to be ranked among so many esteemed companies," said Reis. "Entrust Bankcard fights for the small business and our passion for constant improvement is what makes us successful and allows us to provide effective solutions for saving money."

The 2011 Inc. 500, unveiled in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 23 to November 15 and on Inc.com), is a group of companies that are smaller but much faster-growing than last year's crop. Aggregate revenue is $10.5 billion, with a median three-year growth of 1,275 percent. The companies on this year's list employ more than 46,000 people and generated over 35,000 jobs in the past three years.

Companies such as Microsoft, Zappos, Intuit, Jamba Juice, Zipcar, Clif Bar, Vizio, Oracle, and many other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 500. Complete results of the Inc. 500, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found on Inc.com/500.
