Payments Industry Mourning the Loss of Payments Leader Ken Elderts

August 8, 2016 –  The payments industry has suffered a terrible loss with the passing of Ken Elderts. As a founding member and recent past president of the Western States Acquirers Association, and through his recent role as Vice President of Sales at AnywhereCommerce, Elderts was a great contributor to our industry and an active and enthusiastic participant in ETA.  He had an extensive career in payments, holding sales leadership positions at Dejavoo, eFunds Corporation, CyberCash, Lipman, First Data, TASQ and Verifone. On behalf of the entire ETA community, our thoughts and sympathies are with Ken’s family in this difficult time.

Ken leaves behind his wife Lori, eight children and one grandchild. A GoFundMe account has been set-up if you would like to help provide support to his family.
