Bankcard industry lobbies Congress to leave interchange fees alone

September 22, 2009

Lafferty Group - Interchange battle rages on | www.lafferty.com

The primary story here is not the card industry's standard defense of bankcard interchange fees. It is that Visa and industry trade associations are responding to the clear and present danger that an angry Congress is going to side with merchants by enacting a law to limit interchange fees. Their defense of the fee is that polling of consumers shows a wide majority in favor of charging merchants for accepting cards. But it doesn't address whether current fees are too high and unfairly applied.

Higher defaults in a CRE book don't necessarily translate to more losses

September 16, 2009

Wells Fargo, Fifth Third Add to Predictions of Higher Defaults | www.bloomberg.com

One of the most compelling contrasts between the 2007-08 (and still ongoing) meltdown in the residential housing market, vs. the forecast bubble-burst in commercial real estate for 2009-10, is the methodology banks and lenders use to forecast losses.  This contrast will definitely lend itself to more transparency and clarity with this current lending crisis vs. the previous residential and consumer meltdown.
