The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has ordered Mastercard to provide competing payment networks with the necessary information to process debit card payments. This comes after the FTC alleged that Mastercard violated the Durbin Amendment, a provision of the Dodd-Frank Act, by preventing merchants from routing transactions over alternative networks. The Durbin Amendment requires banks to support two competing payment networks on all debit cards in order to promote competition among networks.
