Credit card processing in Lexington, KY
Lexington is horse country, with thoroughbred farms, Keeneland's race meets and horse sales, alongside a large university and its game-day crowds.
Lexington business, from Downtown Lexington to Distillery District
Keeneland meets in spring and autumn fill restaurants and hotels, and horse sales involve very large transactions usually handled by wire. The university drives student spending.
Downtown and the Distillery District hold restaurants and bars, and bourbon trail visitors pass through on their way to distilleries.
