MIRA truly represents its members well. Auday does a magnificent job in following through with all the needs of retailers and having created a highly respected organization, and one of the most active. They are working hard and they involve their members.

The industry has been good to me, and I want to help others have the same success.” “United we stand, divided we fall. Our industry is only as good as the weakest link, so stronger members mean a stronger industry.

Taking part in MIRA events like the trade show and annual dinner gives us opportunities to contact both current and potential customers, and most importantly – thank them for their valuable business

We have a very strong working relationship and alliance with MIRA. We serve many of the same customers/members, and we’re working very closely together to make sure Money Service Businesses have fair access to financial services.

I strongly recumbent MIRA to anyone whose business fits the MIRA criteria. They are our eyes and ears in Lansing. They keep us current with laws and legislation. Many rebate programs for members can add up quickly.
