Sam’s Club announced a major expansion of its service offerings

redefine the value of Sam’s Club membership.
Sam’s Club is introducing exclusive savings on five new
services:

identity with significant savings on annual support. LifeLock is a
leading provider of proactive identity theft protection services
for consumers and identity risk and credit worthiness assessment
for enterprises.
- Accounting and Tax Preparation with
1-800Accountant, a network of dedicated accounting experts that
ease business members’ hassles and confusion around bookkeeping and
tax filing through a convenient, easy-to-use platform. Affordable
flat rate pricing and plans starting at $29 per month include
access to a dedicated accountant through any device.
- Sam’s Club Business Lending
Center, a fast, simple platform that eases access to capital by
connecting business members to responsible lenders and credit
options through Lending Club, SmartBiz and Sam’s Club Business
MasterCard.
- The Sam’s Club Business Lending Center,
launching in two weeks, is a simple digital platform for business
members to gain access to responsible capital – from $5,000 to
$350,000 - through Lending Club business loans and SmartBiz 7(a)
SBA Loans. The Business Lending Center also increases business
access to cash flow through the Sam’s Club Business MasterCard, an
award-winning credit and cash back rewards program. Members using
the Business Lending Center will receive exclusive savings of 20
percent on loan-related fees.
- Enhanced Payment Processing
solutions by First Data, bringing in-club business consultants
and centralized payments and point of sale technology to business
members to help streamline and simplify operations. With First
Data, Sam’s Club has provided the most value in payment processing
for 10 years, starting at $19 per month.
- Online Marketing Expertise by
Web.com responds to business members’ need to grow their
customer base. Web.com has created five member-exclusive digital
marketing bundles, including do-it-yourself (DIY) and do-it-for-me

members save up to 36 percent savings off retail digital marketing
services, including website design and social media strategy.
“Members tell us they want to simplify the way they work and
live,” said Rosalind Brewer, President and CEO of Sam’s Club. “They
need more time, more money and easier access to services. With the
services we’re introducing today, our members can now rely on Sam’s
Club for great merchandise and one network for services to help

proven track record, customer service, commitment to technology and
ability to deliver significant savings. This portfolio of services
is about giving members more ways to use technology to enjoy the
benefits of membership inside and outside the club.”
