REDMOND, WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES, July 20, 2023 -- The Merchant Risk Council (MRC), a global non-profit membership association for payments and fraud prevention professionals, announced the addition of 27 new members to its Global Board of Directors and four Regional Advisory Boards in APAC, LATAM, Europe, and North America.
The MRC brings together eCommerce payments and fraud prevention professionals from global merchants, solution providers, and law enforcement agencies to share fraud and risk mitigation strategies in the ongoing fight against eCommerce fraud. New board members represent international brands, including adidas, Netflix, Mastercard, Sony, Stripe, Spotify, and Lenovo.
The MRC Global Board of Directors ensures that the MRC operates at the highest legal and ethical standards. The MRC also has established Regional Advisory Boards in North America, Europe, APAC, and LATAM. The Regional Advisors bring a unique perspective to the MRC, offering invaluable leadership, experience, and local industry knowledge. MRC holds local merchant-focused events and extends advocacy efforts for regional merchants, such as working with the Reserve Bank of India to expand their recently implemented card payment regulation compliance deadline.
The MRC expanded its extensive member offerings into Asia Pacific in 2021. APAC MRC members include Canva, Grab, Ant Group, and Lazada. The organization recently announced that they have established Latin America operations in Brazil. This month the inaugural LATAM Regional Advisory Board was seated. LATAM MRC members include Magazine Luiza, iFood, Decolar.com, FarFetch, adidas, and Lenovo.
“Each of these new Board members will add tremendous value to the organization and bring expertise unique to their region on compliance and fraud techniques,” said Julie Fergerson, Merchant Risk Council CEO. “Our board members are an integral part of the organization as their ideas, direction, and contributions provide guidance and support to the MRC.”
