Both Visa and MasterCard issued quarterly earnings releases Wednesday and that information, along with the Fed publishing effective debit interchange rates for 2011, have created quite a bit of buzz across the industry. As expected, Visa’s overall PIN-debit numbers are down and MasterCard’s are up. That was helped by the analyst notes stating that Bank of America moved their PIN-debit transactions over to the MasterCard network. Big win for the Purchase, New York network, but Visa is making inroads on the global playing field with a “bring it on” mindset apparent wtihin both companies.

On March 13, the U.S. Justice Department’s antissued a civil investigative demand asking for information about Visa’s debit strategy, Saunders said in the conference call.
