Sign up today for a complimentary webinar highlighting the latest research about the Durbin amendment and the resulting opportunities for loyalty programs!
A loyalty program is a post-Durbin must-have. With the Federal Reserve Board’s recently released final regulations for debit interchange, this an opportune time to talk about what these rules mean for financial institutions that have loyalty programs. For FIs unsure about whether to pursue a rewards program, this discussion is meant to offer advice that will help inform your organization as well.
In this session, participants will learn:
– How will loyalty programs – both for major FIs as well as credit unions and community banks – be impacted by the Fed’s new debit rules?
– What changes will have to incorporated into these programs to make them viable, both for banks and consumers?
– Is there a plausible scenario under which FIs can use these programs to offset losses from debit interchange caps?
– What are the risks to FIs of merchant “tender steering” given this new environment and what can FIs do to offset that risk?
– What are the “best practices” now as it relates to loyalty in a post-Durbin world?
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain crucial insight into how best-in-class businesses are leveraging loyalty programs during this time of change.
