MRC Membership Highlights - MERCHANTS
The Power of MRC Membership
Our thriving community welcomes merchants, solution providers, issuers, law enforcement, card brands, and ancillary companies who all work together to fight fraud and drive progress in the payments industry.
EXPAND YOUR NETWORK
The MRC fosters an environment for open conversation, collaboration, information sharing, learning, and networking. Connect with your peers to re-imagine the fraud and payments landscape.
MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD
Advocacy is immensely important to MRC members as the payments industry becomes more regulated than ever before. We are guided by our mission to advocate for our members’ interests on a global scale, empower you to be informed, compliant, competitive, and make your voice heard where it counts.
INVEST IN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Manage your professional development in ways that closely align with your career goals and objectives and make a positive impact on your career.
ENHANCE YOUR KNOWLEDGE
MRC members have access to a content-rich resource library and a myriad of educational tools — from online courses, webinars, presentations, case studies, white papers, weekly newsletters, industry analyses, and reports, to best practices and knowledge sharing through discussion boards and community calls.
