The Federal Reserve on Monday issued a final rule on Regulation II -– which covers debit card interchange fees and network routing exclusivity – requiring all debit card issuers to enable and allow merchants to choose from at least two unaffiliated networks for card-not-present (CNP) transactions, such as online purchases. NAFCU previously wrote to the Fed, urging the agency to withdraw the modification, stating that that this change will produce a negative impact on credit unions.

NAFCU Regulatory Affairs Counsel Dale Baker Monday wrote to the NCUA in response to the proposed interagency policy statement on prudent commercial real estate (CRE) loan accommodations and workouts.
