Dodd-Frank
The Durbin Amendment, a last-minute addition to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, has sparked fierce debate about government regulation, consumer choice, innovation and entrepreneurship. The bill drastically lowers swipe fees – the fee charged to merchants every time a customer pays with plastic – on debit cards issued by big banks, cutting into the banks’ revenue while, presumably, lowering costs for merchants and therefore consumers. Update 9/26/12 – throwing the gauntlet: The American Bankers Association sent a letter on 9/20 to the congressional leadership urging them not to regulate interchange fees further, repeating the “mistakes” of the Durbin Amendment.
