Abstract:
Regulation II implements, among other things, standards for assessing whether interchange transaction fees for electronic debit transactions are reasonable and proportional to the cost incurred by the issuer with respect to the transaction, as required by section 920 of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act. The regulation sets a cap of 21 cents plus 5 basis points of the transaction's value on interchange transaction fees of covered issuers. Regulation II allows adjustments to debit card interchange transaction fees to make an allowance for fraud-prevention costs incurred by issuers. The regulation permits an issuer to receive or charge an amount of no more than 1 cent per transaction in addition to its interchange transaction fee if the issuer develops and implements policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to take effective steps to reduce the occurrence of, and costs to all parties from, fraudulent electronic debit transactions. An issuer must notify its payment card networks annually that it complies with the Board's standards for the fraud-prevention adjustment. Regulation II requires issuers to retain evidence of compliance with the requirements imposed for a period of not less than five years after the end of the calendar year in which the electronic debit transaction occurred.
