Get Started

Our Vision

To be one of the leading business corporations in the United States and to make a real difference in the communities we serve by adhering  to a code of ethics and encouraging the highest levels of integrity and business practices. We also aspire to attain wide recognition among many government agencies and various corporate partners. We are aiming towards our core mission by developing and executing programs in areas that impact the holistic quality of life and standard of living of our members, their families, and the communities in which they live.

The South Texas Merchant Association (STMA)  was originally founded in the early part of the year 2000 to provide an enabling environment for local retail businesses to work cooperatively at improving the welfare of the group and for the protection and promotion of business interests of its members. About 80 different business owners in San Antonio came together to cater to the growing needs of the people in their local business communities.

The association is controlled by a board of directors elected by members of the association. Even today, an elected board of directors governs STMA on a Volunteer basis.

The founding members of STMA were mainly owners of convenience stores and gas stations. They were able to lay the firm foundation on which our association is thriving today.

About Us

Established in the year 2000, our association has raised the bar in providing real and sustainable value to our members through partnerships with big private companies and relative government agencies.

STMA provides unique opportunities for professional growth through educational and service-oriented training programs. It builds effective partnerships with many government agencies to collaborate on industry issues, organizes safety programs, fosters business compliance initiatives, and improves certification and licensing efficiency.

Today, our association is well known by merchants, elected officials, and other trade groups as an influential and effective representative of small local businesses.

Today, STMA is a highly successful business enterprise and a respected advocate for merchants and the payments field as a whole.

STMA places great priority on giving back to the communities in which we work. Our association has demonstrated this by partnering with various non-governmental organizations like the American Red Cross, Focus Humanitarian Assistance, Christian charities, Hispanics Scholarship Funds, San Antonio Food Bank, Local School Districts, and Aga Khan Foundation to improve the quality of life of people in our local and surrounding communities. We understand that community involvement is an easy and effective way to increase brand awareness, establish a positive reputation, and grow our business. We are fully committed to giving back to our local communities by donating and supporting local charity organizations.
