Advocacy

With the ever-evolving nature of the payments industry, new regulations, standards, and policies continue to change and become more complex. Advocating for our members is of utmost importance to us, and it has proven to benefit the payments industry across the board. 

I see the MRC as essential because it brings together merchants, solution providers, acquirers, and issuers. Collaboration is key to the success of payment conversion and fraud mitigation, and what I love about being a part of the MRC community is the ability to link those relationships together.
