As anticipated, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is using his power to force a hearing on the Credit Card Competition Act (S. 1838, otherwise known as the “Big Box Bailout Bill”) during the lame duck session of this Congress. Cornerstone joins our system partners in vehemently opposing this misguided legislation once again.
The hearing, "Breaking the Visa-Mastercard Duopoly: Bringing Competition and Lower Fees to the Credit Card System," is set for 10 a.m. ET. Save this link for a live video of the hearing.
