  • PIN Debit Networks November 7, 2013
    Meeting Between Federal Reserve Board Staff and Representatives of PIN Debit Networks November 7, 2013 Participants: Louise Roseman, Stephanie Martin, Jeffrey Marquardt, Susan Foley, David Mills, Samantha Pelosi, Mark Manuszak, Krzysztof Wozniak, Tyler Standage, Aaron Rosenbaum, and Linda Healey (Federal Reserve Board) Terry Maher (Baird Holm LLP); Leah Work (CO-OP Financial Services); Jonathan Genovese and Rob Rankin (Jeanie Network); Cathy Morrissey (NETS); Robert Woodbury (NYCE Payments Network); Judith McGuire (PULSE); Scott Dobesh and Terry Dooley (Shazam Network); Nancy Loomis (Star Network); Paul Tomasofsky (Two Sparrows Consulting) Summary: Representatives of several PIN debit networks met with Federal Reserve Board staff to discuss their observations of market developments related to deployment of EMV (i.e., chip-based) debit cards in the United States. Issues discussed included (i) technological aspects of EMV payment cards with a focus on methods for enabling multiple networks on an EMV card, and (ii) the network participants’ views of issuer, merchant, and payment card network concerns related to EMV deployment, particularly as those concerns pertain to Regulation II’s prohibition on network exclusivity and merchant routing restrictions. In particular, the network representatives stressed the importance of industry adoption of an EMV model that best facilitates merchant routing choice, and expressed concern that the current approach advocated by Visa and MasterCard does not meet this objective.

ABSTRACT The organization of automated teller machine (ATM) and electronic banking services in the United States has undergone significant structural changes in the past two or three years that raise questions about the long term prospects for the retail banking industry, the nature of network competition, ATM service pricing, and what role ATMs will play in the development of an interstate banking system. In this paper we investigate ways that banks use ATM services and membership in ATM networks as strategic marketing tools. We also examine how the changes in the size, number, and ownership of ATM networks (from banks or groups of banks to independent operators) have impacted the structure of ATM deployment in the retail banking industry. Finally, we consider how movement toward market saturation is changing how the public values electronic banking services, and what this means for bankers.

Use the space below. _____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ Credit is the ability of a consumer to obtain goods and services before payment, based on an agreement to pay later. Using a credit card is one form of credit and choosing and using credit cards are important components of personal finance. Did you know? • in 2006, 92% of college students had at least one credit card? • the average outstanding balance on a graduate student's credit card was $8,612? • the average outstanding balance on an undergraduate's credit card was $2,327? A credit card represents an agreement between a lender – the institution issuing the card – and the cardholder. It is a convenient form of borrowing with a revolving line of credit. This means it can be used repeatedly to buy products or services, up to a specific dollar amount. The credit card company determines this dollar amount based on a cardholder's credit history. Discussion Topic: How Do You Use Credit Cards? Post your answers to the following questions to the discussion board. Remember this is a public forum; don't reveal personal information. • Do you have a credit card? If not, do your parents have credit cards? • What do you or your parents usually use the card(s) to purchase? Credit cards can be called "easy access" credit because they are relatively easy to acquire.
