Medium-risk merchants are on the rise across merchant portfolios. Is this due to trends in risk criteria across merchants or a change in risk rating methodology for the merchant sponsors?
Cihat Fitzgerald and Caroline Hometh explore this trend in a one-hour virtual fireside chat (bring your own fire). You’ll learn about quantifying your risk, the types of risks to consider, and the various perspectives at your company to consider.
This webinar qualifies for one hour of ETA continuing education credit.
