The focused and concise webinars feature subject-matter experts who provide information to help business owners and managers identify solutions to current business challenges that will help them manage their payment processes."

The first in this season's series, "BB&T Merchant Services - Streamlining Payment Acceptance," is available at www.bbt.com/paymentswebinar.
