ETA Letter to President-Elect Trump Outlining Its Policy Proposals for 2017

November 28, 2016

Dear President-elect Trump:

On behalf of the Electronic Transactions Association (ETA), I would like to congratulate you on your election to the Office of President of the United States of America.

ETA encourages your administration to create a policy environment that supports the free flow of capital and ideas so that innovation can pave the way for a flourishing U.S. economy.

We ask that your administration support the on-going efforts by the payments industry to provide opportunities for all consumers and small businesses to access and benefit from innovative financial products and services. These efforts include fraud prevention technologies such as the industry-led shift to chip cards and implementation of tokenization and encryption, reforming the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), and using technology to expand access to capital to small businesses. Any efforts by policymakers to regulate financial products and services should be done collaboratively and with careful consideration. Included below is a list of priorities for the electronic payments industry.
