- League Will Comment on Federal Reserve Board's Proposed Rule for Revision of Debit Interchange Fee Cap
October 25, 2023The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (FRB) today proposed a rule that would reduce the debit interchange fee cap contained in Regulation II. “We will carefully examine the Federal Reserve Board’s proposal and submit comments. We know the fraud costs our credit unions are facing continue to mount and we must have fairness in the system,” said League President/CEO Carrie Hunt. “The League remains engaged with policymakers on this issue because we understand the debit interchange fee cap had an impact on every financial institution, not just those issuers with $10 billion or more in assets. We know, too, that the price cap imposed on debit interchange fees is a failed policy that’s had a disastrous impact on the cost and availability of basic banking services, harming low- and moderate-income Americans.”
