More Than 200 ETA Members Urge Congress to Rein In Operation Choke Point

July 17, 2014 – ETA delivered a petition to Congress today signed by more than 200 members, asking Members to recognize the value of a collaborative approach with the payments industry to best protect consumers from fraudulent activities. ETA believes this approach would mitigate the risk that an overly broad enforcement policy will cause law abiding merchants to lose access to payments systems or face higher transaction costs that will be passed on to consumers.
