The Electronic Transactions Association (ETA) has selected Payment Alliance International (PAI) for ETA's most prestigious award.

During ETA's recent annual meeting and expo in San Diego, the association named PAI "2011 ISO of the Year." The Washington, D.C.-based international trade association annually recognizes a member company whose actions move forward the payments industry.

"PAI has enjoyed tremendous growth and success in just a short time," said Carla Balakgie, CEO of ETA. "Their strong customer focus and commitment to service excellence represent the true spirit and purpose of the ISO of the Year recognition."

John J. Leehy III, president and CEO of Payment Alliance International, called the award a tremendous honor.

"We are fortunate to have an outstanding team of professionals, each committed to finding new and innovative ways to make good things happen for our customers we serve," Leehy said. "We appreciate being recognized by the ETA for our business success and look forward to continuing to work with the association for the betterment of the payments industry."

Payment Alliance International was founded in 2005. The Louisville, Ky.-based company is the largest independent ATM deployer (IAD) in North America with more than 50,000 locations in the PAI Alliance Network.
