dominic Avatar

Austreme hosted and organised an Acquiring Risk Training for Mastercard Members at the Shanghai IFC.

Tailored for Mastercard partners, including Acquirers and Payment Facilitators (PayFacs), this specialised workshop focused on navigating the complexities of merchant risk and brand protection in today’s rapidly evolving landscape.

Workshop Highlights

  • Optimising Compliance Tools: Practical guidance on the Mastercard Champion Program services, specifically focusing on SiteInspect for website scanning and TLD (Transaction Laundering Detection) for identifying unauthorised payment redirections.

  • Merchant Website Optimisation: A breakdown of common risk indicators found on merchant sites, along with concrete suggestions for improvements to streamline the approval process and meet compliance standards.

  • Incident Response Mastery: A strategic look at handling BRAM (Business Risk Assessment and Mitigation) and TL (Transaction Laundering) Incident Reports – how to identify key issues, conduct thorough investigations, and execute the correct response protocols.

Thank you to all the risk professionals and members who joined us at the IFC! It was a productive day of sharing expertise and sharpening our collective defence against payment risk.
