These sessions covered foundational topics, including laws and regulations such as TILA, Reg E, the Durbin Amendment, and Reg II, as well as aspects like money transmission, BSA (Bank Secrecy Act), AML (Anti-Money Laundering), KYC (Know Your Customer), and PFACS.
The program dedicated a full day to exploring the future direction of payments laws and regulations, offering insights into how policymakers are thinking about the payments industry. The discussions spanned a range of topics, including sales tax, surcharging, discounting, privacy, artificial intelligence, and money transmission.
Attendees heard from key regulatory bodies, including the Federal Trade Commission, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. They provided valuable insights into their respective regulatory agendas and enforcement priorities.
The event culminated with an in-depth examination of compliance with network rules. Executives from AMEX, Mastercard, and Visa engaged in discussions covering subjects like surcharging, cannabis-related issues, fraud prevention, data quality, MCC (Merchant Category Codes), and more.
