What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A truck stop in Watford City filed a lawsuit against the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. The 8th Circuit Court recently ruled that the Board did not regulate debit card transaction fees as intended by the Durbin Amendment. The court found that the existing rule enabled banks to place a blanket fee on all card transactions, despite the rule stating fees must be “reasonable and proportional” to debit card transactions.
