Debit Card Fees: The issue of debit card fees for merchants and consumers is the initial hot topic we will address.
The Apparent Issue:
Lending institutions are under immense political and increasing
regulatory pressure in these highly charged times to reduce the fees
charged to merchants when consumers use their debit cards on the grounds
that the actual costs and risks involved for the lending institutions
are a fraction of the actual debit card fees. Would you like to read more about this issue?

Current Response: More of the same:
In order to redress the revenue loss foreseen due to being
forced/coerced to lower merchant fees, many lending institutions are
seeking to replace lost merchant fee revenue with new consumer fee
revenues – triggering a firestorm of resentment, and a whole range of
potentially damaging consumer and political reactions.

The Real Issue answer: Less of the Same:
The real issue is that lending institutions must find paths to new
revenues that are not subject to intense political and regulatory
scrutiny and which are neither fee nor rate based, but aimed at adding
significant value to their merchant and consumer customers in different
ways.
