Proponents and opponents of 'Durbin' tend to view the debit/credit card payments world as a titanic struggle for supremecy between issuers (FIs), amalgmating behind the VISA-MC brand oligopoly…and acquirers (retailers) riding the coat-tails of the national chains. Durbin was a tactical win for the acquirers. It will certainly spur innovation as issuers regroup. But, the new alliances may turn out to be issuer-acquirer partnerships. Imagine Wells-Target squared off against B of A-Walmart…rewards programs morph into branded offers…instant gratification. Meanwhile, mobile and other non-card initiated transactions claim new ground. Clearly, the world will not be the same. And, that's probably a good thing. Alas, 'Durbin' may have unwittingly provided the incentive for building the new order…sooner. Mike M, Atlanta.
