The Debit Business Overhaul: Interchange, Overdraft, Exclusivity

American Banker | Sep 21, 2010 Card issuers are predicted to lose significant debit-related revenue from the combination of regulations for debit-interchange and overdraft fees. Already, initial estimates are starting to emerge from the major debit-issuing banks. And it’s not just issuers who are impacted. The legislative changes taking place this year are causing stakeholders throughout the payments industry to consider the impact to their side of the market as well. For years, the status of interchange regulation was in the process of being debated, or deadlocked. Now that it’s reached resolution as part of the sweeping Dodd Frank Financial Reform Bill, debit card issuers are left waiting for the final rules to be written. Banks are now left with the challenge of assessing how these changes will play out in the market, how they might impact their business, and what processes will need to be altered. In addition, potential opportunities could emerge. This live interactive video panel brings together experts offering their perspectives on the market impact of the new rules, and suggests ways to retool your debit issuing business. During this event, you’ll have the opportunity to pose questions live to a panel of experts. Key points covered will include: The Federal Reserve Board’s “reasonable and proportional” guidelines – what does this mean? Winners and losers of the new provisions—the obvious and not so obvious Aspects of the card issuing business most affected Impact on larger vs. small issuers Initial steps to identifying new revenue streams Does this open the door to other card-related regulation? If so, what could that look like? Moderator: Will Wade, Technology and Payments Editor, American Banker Will Wade is the Technology Editor at American Banker.
