and security professionals gather to discuss the latest in payments, fraud and
security, it makes the industry stronger.'

dialogue, which is why we are working with the MRC and sponsoring their fall
member meeting,' said Bruce Dragt, SVP, First Data Retail and Alliance
Services. 'Creating and sharing best practices with colleagues in the industry
creates a stronger ecommerce infrastructure and a better experience for
consumers. We support the mission of the MRC to create excellence in payments
and fraud prevention.'
