MRC Launches MRC Communities, an Interactive Discussion Forum

SEATTLE, 2015-12-01 19:53 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Today the Merchant Risk Council, the leading global trade association committed to safe and profitable eCommerce, launched their new website portal, MRC Communities, an interactive forum to discuss industry trends, solve business challenges, share information and network with professionals.

MRC Communities allows quick communication between fraud and payments professionals around the globe to engage in conversations and get immediate feedback. Because the fraud and payments industry is always changing and fraudsters are constantly evolving, members rely on information sharing to learn best practices, successful processes and new developments. This tool allows them to do this faster by speeding up response time.

“As the MRC continues to experience rapid development and membership growth, an ongoing goal of ours is to deliver unparalleled education, tools and events,” says Danielle Nagao, MRC CEO. “MRC Communities is a vital new part of our resource center, providing members an additional opportunity to seek guidance, grow their professional network and collaborate in industry discussions.”

Features of MRC Communities include: membership directory to search and connect with peers, daily digest email report delivering the previous day’s discussions, an open member forum to post messages, private discussions for members of select business communities (Gamer Safety Alliance, Payments and Fraud), file sharing, customizable portal profiles including location networks, private messaging and more.
