How Merchant Onboarding is Reborn

Has innovation left the merchant underwriting process behind? On Tuesday, July 8th, MPD CEO Karen Webster will host a live digital discussion with Recombo’s Reed Clayton, Vice President Electronic Payments, and Peter Fitzpatrick, author of the “Ultimate Guide to Automated Merchant Boarding,” to talk about how innovations in merchant onboarding can deliver a faster and more efficient merchant onboarding process.
