MRC RAPID Edu

Overview

As an independent, not-for-profit business association, the Merchant Risk Council's mission is to facilitate collaboration between eCommerce payments and risk professionals. Year-round, the MRC provides valuable resources to its members that include proprietary educational content, webinars, best practices, industry trends, benchmarking reports and whitepapers. Building on these benefits, the MRC is proud to introduce a new, on-demand education option called RAPID Edu, which stands for Risk And Payments Industry Development. RAPID Edu courses are web-based, providing users with the flexibility to take courses any time of the day, any day of the year, anywhere in the world. Learners also have the option to complete a portion of a course, then resume the course later at a convenient time.
