The Regulators aren’t distracted by the midterms

With the midterm elections approaching, members of Congress are paying more attention to their campaigns than financial services legislation. But the regulators aren’t facing re-election, so their focus on the industry has not wavered​. 

In the latest episode of the IPA Payments Pod, the Association’s government relations team, Brian Tate, the association’s CEO, and Chris Stromberg, the director of government relations, discuss recent actions by the regulators, including debit card transaction routing rules and the latest activity at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. They also cover what the midterm elections might mean for the future of financial services regulation. 

The IPA thanks our member sponsor, Netspend, for helping to make this show possible.
