Two of the most pressing matters in the payments industry continue to accelerate – the push for greater transparency and accountability in merchant acquiring and processing.

We'll also review best practices for minimizing potential risk, including merchant due diligence, identifying signs of fraud, and monitoring merchant and portfolio processing metrics.
