American Conference Institute's 4th Annual Forum on Prepaid Card Compliance

Essential Legal and Practical Strategies for Structuring Products, Mitigating Risk, and Ensuring Compliance

The prepaid card industry is facing unprecedented legal and regulatory challenges at both the state and federal levels. In response to the CARD Act and Dodd-Frank, the Fed has issued sweeping new rules that impact gift cards and FinCEN is engaging in greater oversight of stored value cards. And the potential direct and indirect impact of the Durbin Amendment on prepaid cards cannot be overstated. Further, the CFPB as well as other emerging regulatory initiatives are likely to have major consequences for the prepaid card market. At the state level, the continued evolution of money transmitter statutes requires that market participants keep pace or risk non-compliance and new escheat laws threaten to severely impact the way prepaid cards are sold. Add to these concerns the uncertain status of federal preemption, the continuing difficulties associated with AML compliance, and the increasing challenges of fraud deterrence and it becomes clear that it is more important than ever to ensure that you are in compliance with the myriad state and federal regulations and emerging legislation impacting the prepaid industry.
