MAG Insights

The Merchant Advisory Group is excited to announce the launch of our latest microlearning course, Brand Release Essentials, as part of our commitment to providing valuable learning opportunities in payments. Brand Release Essentials will provide learners with a better understanding of how to assess the implications of quarterly brand updates on their merchant operations. In addition, the course introduces:

• A process for reviewing fee changes.
• A vocabulary for describing the potential financial and operational implications.
• Emphasis on the importance of identifying industry- or channel-specific adjustments required for the effective management of payments processing changes.

Building on the success of our previous microlearnings, Getting Buy-in for a Fly-in and Adopting and Implementing Payment Account Reference (PAR), we are excited to offer this new course, and to remind you to stay tuned for upcoming microlearning courses later this year – after the release of our new full-length introduction to the Payments Ecosystem, aimed at our Executive and Senior leaders, in early fall!

As a reminder, our Merchant Payments 200-level content is now FREE to All-Access Merchant Members and Tier 1 Sponsors! This series comprises five comprehensive online courses of ~1 hour in duration each, focused on various payment aspects, including;

• Managing a Payments Program
• Exploring Card Types and Products
• Navigating Fraud and Chargebacks
• Evaluating Touchless Payments
• An Exploration of Debit Routing

On average, learners report a 28% increase in confidence after taking one of these courses – imagine what you could do if you mastered them all!

Join us on this learning journey as we continue to bring clarity and hands-on tools to help you navigate the payments ecosystem, and effectively understand Brand Release Essentials.
