Top MRC Member and Non-Member Resources

Helping You Stay Engaged and Connected

First and foremost, we hope you are healthy and well during this time of uncertainty. COVID-19 has shaken our world and we are thinking about everyone affected by this crisis.

While life, as we know it, has changed, our industry has the added pressure of staving off fraudsters who take advantage of any systematic weaknesses. Working from home presents new challenges like communication barriers, changes in productivity, difficulties collaborating, and that is just within internal teams. We know how important outside collaboration and networking are to this industry and so the MRC is here to provide access to digital resources and community interaction to make your life easier.

With social distancing in effect, it's our goal to bring our community together by offering useful tools and resources to help professionals stay engaged and educated during these unprecedented times.

Below you will find a list of online resources broken down by member and non-member accessibility. We highlight pertinent membership benefits available to merchants, service providers, and industry partners in the eCommerce fraud and payments space, giving them unlimited access to a wealth of education and networking opportunities. The MRC also offers several complimentary resources available to professionals without a membership commitment.

Gaining access is as simple as signing up with your email address!
