Basalt, Colo., Jan. 29, 2013 – As one of the fastest-growing credit card merchant account acquirers, Total Merchant Services (Total), today announced the company has expanded its management team with two senior executives.

Joining Total’s team to help small businesses accelerate their growth is Matthew A.
