Joint Release: Financial Services Industry Opposes Effort by Senators Durbin & Marshall to Force Credit Card Routing Mandates into Military Construction, Veterans Affairs Funding Bill (The Electronic Payments Coalition, September 15, 2023)

9/15/2023

 
Picture
​WASHINGTON, DC— Today, 11 trade associations representing virtually all banks and credit unions, including those primarily serving military-affiliated customers and members, released the following joint statement opposing the effort by Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Roger Marshall (R-KS) to attach their proposed credit card routing legislation (S. 1838) to the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act (H.R. 4366):
“The financial services industry stands united in opposition to the effort by Senators Durbin and Marshall to delay funding for veterans and our military in order to gift a massive government handout to Walmart, Target, and other big-box retailers. The Durbin-Marshall credit card routing legislation has no relevance to military or veteran spending whatsoever. We call on both Senators to promptly abandon their effort to use the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act to secure government favors for big-box retailers at the expense of consumers, small businesses, and small financial institutions.”
Additional:
These same 11 trade associations sent a joint letter to Congressional leaders expressing strong opposition to the so-called “Credit Card Competition Act of 2023,” and the effort to include that bill’s language as an amendment (1161) to H.R. 4366, Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2024.
That joint letter can be found HERE.
