Who We Are

Trade for Good

The Digital Commerce Alliance’s motto is Trade for Good. These three simple words sum up the mission of our non-profit trade association: DCA drives the future of trade and commerce, by making it a more socially positive, more friction-free experience for all parties, including consumers.

We believe that trade can be one of the most powerful forces for good. Our aim is to help merchants, card issuers, payment companies, fin-tech organizations, and consumers benefit in multiple ways from innovation enabled by digital commerce technology.

Members are empowered by DCA—and its 3 divisions, the CardLinx Forum, the Mobile Wallet Forum and the Financial Data Forum—to do all they can to make every aspect of trade good for both buyers and sellers, as well as their companies and the communities they serve.
