michael lynch
After 25 years as municipal government administrator in the Chippewa Valley I made the transition to the Merchant Services industry. My wife Lisa (Dickson) Lynch is a 22 year veteran of the card payments industry. Following 12 years as an agent for the nations largest processing company, Lisa started her own Independent Sales Organization (ISO) and is founder of First Choice Merchant Services. We reside near Chippewa Falls on Lake Wissota.
During our time here, I recognized there was a need for a credit card processing solution with an actual physical presence in the Chippewa Valley. This resulted in my founding of Wissota Payments™, powered by Lisa's ISO, First Choice Merchant Services.
