Earlier this year, Analytica, Inc. conducted a survey of 160 PULSE participants representing a wide range of financial institution types, sizes and geographical locations. (continued on page 8) PULSE Platform The Impact of 2011 PULSE Upgrade Change on Fraud Conference: Page 4 Detection The Changing Page 5 Nature of the Debit Industry Page 6 VIEW FROM THE TOP Dear PULSE Participant, n June 29, 2011, the Federal Reserve Board issued its final rules for implementation of the Durbin Amendment, which became law as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street OReform and Consumer Protection Act. The final rules include significant adjustments to the proposal released by the FRB last December, as outlined in the lead story in this issue. Based on initial reaction to the Federal Reserve’s final debit interchange rules, it appears none of the stakeholders in this issue is happy with the regulation. Merchants are displeased that the regulated interchange rate is nearly twice the Fed’s original Dave Schneider proposal. Regulated issuers and networks are concerned that the rate is a substantial reduction to the current average interchange, and less than the 27 cents identified in a comment to the Fed by a group of eight banking and credit union associations as the actual cost of a debit transaction. Even “Regardless of the Board of Governors seemed dissatisfied when they cast their votes on the final rule on June 29. Governor Daniel Tarullo said, “I’m positive there are many merchants, issuers, consumers and how any of us networks which would want to change much of what has been proposed, just as some of us at the Board may want to do … [But] we have to act in accordance with the language of the statute.” feels about the Governor Sarah Bloom Raskin added, “I want to underscore my colleagues’ unease with this kind of regulatory intervention. Indeed, when a regulator has to intervene in a market to better align regulation, it’s a pricing with costs, that market must be working somehow less than competitively. We didn’t create this market. We didn’t craft the Durbin Amendment. We’re only doing what Congress has directed.” fact, and PULSE is Governor Elizabeth Duke voted against the rule altogether, her primary concern being the effectiveness of the small issuer exemption. here to help guide Regardless of how any of us feels about the regulation, it’s a fact, and PULSE is here to help you through the guide you through the changes that lie ahead.

Finally, we will be implementing a pricing structure that reflects the regulated interchange rate for issuers subject to that regulation and utilizes the interchange exemption for small issuers. Further details about the network rules revisions and pricing changes have been communi- cated to network participants’ primary PULSE contacts. Please contact your PULSE account manager if you have any questions about the changes that are outlined in these communications. As always, thank you for your continued support of PULSE.
