Testimonials
MRC has been such a personal part of my growth journey. It has been such an incredible opportunity to reconnect with colleagues I've known across the industry for years. We get to come together again year after year to collaborate and also to forge new relationships with other payment service providers and merchants, while continuously learning and educating myself and my team, and in turn elevating myself as a leader in payments.

Kolin Whitley, Head of North America Acceptance Risk, VISA
MRC has been invaluable to me in being able to take the knowledge that I’ve taken away from the conferences, from the webinars, and put it into practice in my daily life to optimize payments and also to be able to defend against fraud. Along the way I’ve met so many wonderful people. It’s really great to come back to an event and meet them again and share that experience with them. I consider them a second family at this stage.
