SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- New research from Cornerstone Advisors, a leading management and technology consultancy for banks, credit unions and fintech firms, reveals how legislation that mandated debit card payment routing and interchange price caps has negatively impacted the nation's banking system and consumers. The study also indicates that newly proposed credit card routing legislation will produce similar negative effects.

Key Points: 
  • The study also indicates that newly proposed credit card routing legislation will produce similar negative effects.
  • "Think of it as regulatory 'whack-a-mole,' where a reduction in revenue from government regulation in one category forces multiple fee-generating categories to rise," said Glenn Grossman, director of research for Cornerstone Advisors and author of the report.
  • "Debit and credit card price controls harm both consumers and the banking system," Grossman said.
  • "Given their much more limited resources, community financial institutions and the customers they serve will suffer disproportionately from these rules."
