Arlington, Virginia., June 18, 2021 – Patriot Capital and the Energy Marketers of America (EMA), formerly known as the
Petroleum Marketers Association of America (PMAA), have partnered to help marketers and their dealers across the
United States achieve EMV compliance.
The partnership will ensure that capital is available, competitively priced, and easy to access for marketers and their
dealers.
Patriot Capital President Chris Santy said, “Now that the EMV deadline has passed and chargebacks are becoming a
reality, our new program with EMA will enable marketers and their dealers to protect their business from fraudulent
actions by upgrading their equipment. Our capital will help make the process cost-effective and exceedingly easy for
marketers and dealers nationwide. Additionally, when EMA State and Regional Association members and their customers
apply through the EMA on-line portal, Patriot will contribute to both the state association and EMA to support the
industry.”
This joint effort from Patriot Capital and EMA is designed to assist Marketers with EMV compliance and additional site
upgrades, which will improve Marketers’ and dealers’ sites, and increase sales.
EMA President Rob Underwood said, “Supporting the continued success of our members is a top priority for EMA and we
are excited about the partnership we have formed with Patriot Capital to help our members achieve EMV compliance.”
EMA Chair Aaron Littlefield added, “It is urgent that our industry complete the necessary upgrades to become EMV
compliant as soon as possible. I was thrilled we were able to partner with Patriot Capital that not only supports the upgrade
effort within our industry but at the same time support these indispensable national, state, and regional trade associations.”
“The work EMA and their Member State Associations do is vital to its members and our whole industry. We are proud to
be able to partner with them and support the critical work they do every day while helping their members achieve EMV
compliance,” added Santy.
