i3 Commerce Technology Named BBB® 2014 Torch Awards for Marketplace Ethics Finalist

i3 Commerce Technology is one of eight businesses named as a finalist for the 2014 Torch Awards for Marketplace Ethics.

“Our focus is on serving our customers with the most efficient and cost-effective payment processing solutions available in today’s market,” said Ryan Rybolt, president of i3 Commerce Technology™. “We’re honored to be named a finalist for the 2014 Torch Award.

BBB’s mission is to be the leader in advancing marketplace trust. One way BBB does this is by honoring businesses and charities demonstrating a higher level of ethical practices.

The Torch Awards is a program of The Center for Ethics at BBB. The Torch Award application process necessitates a thorough self-evaluation of the business or non-profit’s ethical practices and policies. Then, based on the responses, a third-party judging panel selects finalists based on the business or non-profit’s commitment to ethics as outlined in the application.

“Torch Award Finalists distinguish themselves as ethical businesses and non-profits that are doing the right thing,” said Jocile Ehrlich, president & CEO of BBB. “This honor is not a popularity contest but one in which those who were named finalists prove their deep commitment to ethics.”

The Center for Ethics at BBB will host a gala in the Pavilion Ballroom at the Horseshoe Casino on October 23, 2014, to celebrate the achievement of the finalists. More information about Cincinnati BBB and The Center for Ethics at BBB is available by visiting www.bbb.org.
