Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act, 2016
Client: NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SHELL MARKETERS · Firm: NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SHELL MARKETERS
Following passage of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal Reserve provided some consumer relief by capping debit interchange fees at 21 cents per transaction and 0.05 percent of the transaction plus an extra penny for card issuers for fraud prevention, commonly referred to as the Durbin Amendment. Banks and credit unions with $10 billion or less were exempted under the law.
