was. Given the market shifts occurring, this information is as important as ever to
issuers, networks, and processors, who need to react to the ways that debit card
transactions are being routed. The purpose of this report is to create the
foundation to track the trends of all debit card transactions through the various
networks,” commented Sarah Grotta, Director, Debit Advisory Service at
