Expanding Industry Reach The MRC's recent expansion into Latin America signals a growth opportunity to target regional merchants and payment providers who may benefit from their education, benchmarking reports, and industry connections. Building tailored outreach in these markets can help develop new memberships and partnerships.

Recognition and Credibility Winning the Industry Achievement Award at The Card & Payments Awards 2025 enhances MRC’s reputation, making it an attractive partner or solution provider for companies seeking trusted industry alliances, certification, or joint ventures in payments security and fraud prevention.

Educational Initiatives The launch of Career Credentials and recent webinars on emerging scams like pig butchering indicate a strong focus on professional development and industry awareness. Companies offering complementary training, certifications, or risk management solutions can position themselves as valuable partners in this space.

Strategic Partnerships Collaborations with organizations like Checkout.com, EverC, and ClearSale highlight opportunities to co-develop or promote advanced fraud prevention tools, risk analytics, and education programs. These partnerships open avenues for joint marketing or bundled solutions.

Market Position and Growth With a revenue estimate of up to $100 million and a global membership of over 750 industry players, the MRC presents a substantial platform for expanding into related financial technology and compliance markets, especially by emphasizing their education offerings and international expansion efforts.
