In addition to having been present at several editions of the MRC, the largest risk management and anti-fraud event, ClearSale, a company specialized in risk prevention and management solutions, will also be part of the Advisory Board to lead the efforts in the fight against fraud in ecommerce of the Merchant Risk Council.
Recently, the organization entered the Latin American market and established itself in Brazil. Therefore, an Advisory Council for Latin America was formed.
Rafael Lourenço, Executive Vice President of ClearSale, has been appointed, along with 12 other professionals, as a member of the MRC's Latin America Advisory Council. ClearSale will be part of the board along with companies such as Luiza, iFood, Decolar, FarFetch and Adidas.
"I am very happy to join this board alongside such relevant people and companies in the market. It is an extremely important time for ClearSale to be in the MRC. We want to help, not only the Latin American market, but globally speaking, to promote the exchange of strategies for risk mitigation in the fight against fraud in ecommerce," says Rafael.
The list, which was unveiled yesterday, July 19, features 27 new members for the Global Board of Directors, which operates within the highest ethical and legal standards, and its four Regional Councils – Latin America, North America, Asia Pacific and Europe – who bring a unique and local perspective to the MRC, offering leadership, experience and unparalleled knowledge of the local industry.

In 2021, MRC expanded its presence by offering services to members in Asia Pacific (APAC), including companies such as Canva, Grab, Ant Group (Alibaba) and Lazada. Recently, the organization announced its entry into Latin America, establishing itself in Brazil, and this month, the inaugural MRC Board was formed in this region.
