Reliant Merchant Services Co-founder Ryan Selenke

Reliant Merchant Services provides clients with payment solutions at the point of sale. As a merchant services solution provider, Reliant works directly with clients to develop custom point of sale payment options, whether you’re running a restaurant, retail store, dental practice, or home services business.

At Groover, we’ve all seen Ryan at work. Sometimes it’s early in the morning. Other times, it’s on the weekend, when he’s corralling delivered Clover systems to take to clients.

If a client has a question, Ryan, or a member of his team, is answering the call. No agents. No agentic models. When a business signs up with Reliant Merchant Services, Ryan and the team will migrate existing systems over and set up new workflows to accommodate its clients’ needs.

It’s no wonder Reliant was recognized by the SBA as a nominee and runner-up. They are relentlessly local, and relentlessly customer-focused.

Congrats, Ryan!
