Visa's Image-making: Marketing or Legal Defense?

December 30, 2009

Visa's Image Overhaul - US Banker Article | www.americanbanker.com

The article notes that Visa's new ads are the first of their kind since its IPO 2 years ago. Their goal is to influence the outcome of the interchange wars with its merchants (before Congress and in court) and to cause public and private sector VIPs to recognize that it is not an issuer of bad old credit cards. The ads do not state why it took Visa so long to put on a better face.

Is federal banking preemption a benefit or trap for banks?

December 11, 2009

House Deal Bolsters Defense of Preemption - American Banker Article | www.americanbanker.com

The banking reform bill in Congress will include a provision to almost totally preempt the application of state law to federally chartered banks, like Chase, Wells, Citi, et al. Its sponsors have offered it to soften banking resistance to other parts of the bill (e.g., the creation of a super-consumer protection agency). Preemption protects banks from balkanization by patchworks of conflicting and overlapping state statures. As such, it allows for greater cost predictability.

What GAO card study means to interchange legislation & NY lawsuit.

November 20, 2009

GAO: Let Card-Fee System Stand | online.wsj.com

The GAO study of bankcard interchange fees is a mixed bag for the industry. It upholds the practice (in contradiction to the lawsuit against the practice in New York) but points to numerous ideas about how its excesses can be reduced. The latter could propel the Welsh bill in Congress toward enactment. It would allow merchant actions to pressure issuers to accept lower interchange fees. The study's ideas could also play a role in crafting a settlement of the NY suit.
