There are many ways to utilize the MAG’s member benefits and available resources to help move your business forward. A few ways include accessing industry updates that matter to you by following Payments News, utilizing educational materials on the MAG’s Learning Center, connecting with other member companies through the member directory, and staying informed on relevant topics by subscribing to MAG Insights.

SUBSCRIBE TO MAG INSIGHTS

MAG Insights is available in a digital blog format featuring member articles, sponsor highlights, MAG Board updates, and much more.

ACCESS THE MAG LEARNING CENTER

The MAG Learning Center (MLC) gives you exclusive access to register for upcoming webinars. The MLC is also your go-to location for past webinar recordings. You can also watch conference session recordings including select sessions from the MAG’s recent Mid-Year Conference and Tech Forum.

The MLC hosts other content, including educational recordings, industry publications, member surveys, white papers, best practice guides, presentation archives, and additional tools to help you educate new employees.

We are committed to growing our eLearning offerings and is dedicated to expanding our catalogue to meet our community’s professional growth.

To make the most of this member benefit, we utilize a learning management system (LMS) integrated within our website which requires an account creation and login.

ATTEND MAG WEBINARS

The MAG is pleased to offer Member and Sponsor Webinars. This educational experience is designed exclusively for members and sponsors. These offerings are a great way to stay informed of the latest industry trends and serve as a valuable tool for continued professional development. Best of all, webinars are easy to access and conveniently delivered directly to you. As a reminder – membership with the MAG means all employees at a member company are eligible to take advantage of member benefits. Share this information with the rest of your colleagues. 

Interested in presenting on a webinar? We welcome topic and speaker submissions.

Check the MAG website often as new webinars are regularly added to the calendar.

PARTICIPATE IN SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS, COMMITTEES, AND COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE

One of the biggest benefits of MAG membership is the ability to network and share outside of one’s primary vertical. However, there are times when it makes sense for merchants within the same vertical to discuss and share industry-specific challenges. The MAG has formed breakout Special Interest Groups, or SIGs, to meet this need.

In addition, the MAG offers Committees and Communities of Practice (COPs) which invite merchants and other payments stakeholders to address targeted issues and opportunities focused on advocating for change within the payments ecosystem and/or educating merchants on changes that may impact their organizations.

LEVERAGE OUR MEMBER AND SPONSOR DIRECTORIES

An additional benefit of the MAG is the ability to search the Member and Annual Sponsor Directory. MAG brings together merchants from all different verticals to collaborate and share knowledge on hot topics in the payments industry. Meet your merchant counterparts and service providers to move your business forward and solve real-world problems you are facing in payments acceptance.

HELP BUILD PAYMENTS CAREERS

The MAG can post open payments positions at member and sponsor companies on our careers page. Utilize your membership benefits by submitting a career opportunity form to request the MAG post your open position on our site.

You can also utilize our job profile templates as a MAG member-only resource for recruiting, hiring, and retention needs. Finding and promoting the right people to take on these important functions is critical in building a successful payments strategy for your organization
