Merchant Fraud Alliance 2026
Accertify at Merchant Fraud Alliance 2026 — Chicago, Illinois
Accertify is participating in Merchant Fraud Alliance 2026, taking place October 6–7, 2026, at Convene Willis Tower in The Loop neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. Merchant Fraud Alliance 2026 brings together senior merchant-side fraud and risk leaders — VPs of Fraud Strategy, Heads of Fraud Prevention, Directors of Chargebacks, and Trust & Safety leaders — for a merchant-only program built around real case studies, closed-door workshops, and practitioner-led strategy rather than vendor pitches. With a curated Main Stage audience of roughly 400 senior operators, Merchant Fraud Alliance 2026 is one of the most concentrated gatherings of merchant fraud decision-makers in North America this year, and Accertify is on-site as a partner throughout both days.
Why Accertify is at Merchant Fraud Alliance 2026
Merchant Fraud Alliance 2026’s program is built around the exact problems Accertify’s clients bring to the table daily: card-not-present fraud and chargebacks, account takeover, cross-functional gaps between teams, and the growing overlap between cyber attacks and payment fraud. Accertify’s Predictive Yes Platform helps merchants say yes to more good customers, more revenue, and more growth, without getting burned — by joining identity, behavioral, device, and transaction signals across the entire customer lifecycle rather than screening only at checkout.
Accertify processed more than 10 billion transactions worth over $1 trillion in 2025 alone, and helped clients prevent $5.8 billion in fraud and abuse across that same year. Account takeover already accounts for nearly one-third of all e-commerce fraud (Statista, 2024), and global cybercrime costs are projected to reach $13.8 trillion by 2027 (Statista) — a trajectory that is pulling fraud and cybersecurity teams into the same conversation. Merchant Fraud Alliance attendees consistently tell us the same thing Accertify’s clients tell us: fraud caught in a silo is fraud caught too late. That is the theme Accertify’s session addresses directly.
Accertify’s session at Merchant Fraud Alliance 2026:
Session: How Merchants Are Using Cyber Signals to Identify Payment Fraud
Presented by: Mare Yu and Chris DePorter, Reverb
In “How Merchants Are Using Cyber Signals to Identify Payment Fraud,” Mare Yu and Chris DePorter of Reverb walk Merchant Fraud Alliance 2026 attendees through how a merchant fraud team can put cybersecurity signals — device intelligence, connection data, behavioral anomalies, and account reputation — to work identifying payment fraud before it reaches the transaction. Attendees will learn how data breaches and credential-stuffing activity translate directly into account takeover and payment fraud downstream, why treating cyber signals and payment fraud signals as separate data sets creates blind spots fraudsters exploit, and what a practical, cross-functional workflow looks like for a merchant team putting these signals to work together. The session speaks directly to the fraud-cyber convergence trend shaping how leading merchants structure their risk operations in 2026.
What to Expect at the Accertify Booth:
Accertify’s team is on-site at Merchant Fraud Alliance 2026 for both days of the event. Visitors can see a live walkthrough of the Predictive Yes Platform, talk through their own account takeover, chargeback, or first-party fraud challenges with Accertify’s risk experts, and see how Account Protection, Fraud & Payments, Chargeback Management, and CARE work together on a single data layer across the customer lifecycle.
