MRC Connects London 2026

MRC Connects London is an after-hours meetup built for payments, risk, and fraud-prevention professionals who want real conversations and practical insight—without the conference formality. Expect a relaxed format with conversation, drinks, and purposeful networking, curated by the Merchant Risk Council (MRC).

Designed for local practitioners at every level, this community-led gathering surfaces timely challenges and ideas shaping fraud and payments today. It’s an efficient way to widen your network, trade notes with peers, and leave with a handful of ideas you can apply back at your desk.

If you attend, you will:

• Connect with merchants, fraud and risk managers, payment specialists, and solution providers across the ecosystem in an informal setting.
• Hear timely perspectives on emerging threats, evolving authentication standards, and innovations influencing authorization, chargebacks, and customer experience.
• Swap practical tactics—team processes, tooling, and KPIs—with peers facing similar volumes, risk profiles, and regulatory realities.
• Build new relationships you can lean on year-round for benchmarking and problem-solving.

Good to know:

• The event is free and open to merchants and solution providers; MRC membership is not required (non-members may attend up to two Connects events).
• As a merchant-focused meetup, solution providers are limited to one attendee per company, and registrations are subject to approval due to limited capacity.
• Venue details will be announced; the event takes place in London in the evening.

Whether you’re new to the community or an experienced leader, MRC Connects London offers an efficient, high-signal way to stay current, compare approaches, and expand your professional network in fraud prevention and payments.
