There are some risks in terms of MDR reduction for bank led models, but the industry lobby is strong here & given significantly lower penetration compared to debit cards, where MDR is an issue, there are less visible sign of this risk playing out in near-medium future 4/n

While MDR in debit card is regulated, it isn’t in credit cards. The risk of MDR being regulated persists, but given that debit cards are for financial inclusion & credit cards are essentially for top of the pyramid customers, it seems unlikely (at least in the near term). 5/n
