Being part of the MRC is fantastic, because you have a network of people that you can reach out to in safety and in security, and those people will be coming to you, asking you questions, and that sense of sharing in a safe environment...that’s been so important for all of us.  For anybody out there that is not part of this community, if you’re a payments and fraud professional, you need to be part of it. It’s only when you become part of it that you really see the value.

The MRC is a forum where merchants can collaborate with each other, can talk to all the solution providers, and touch base with all the different payments stakeholders. It’s a great collaboration opportunity.
