Baird analyst David Koning noted that a Bloomberg report said the FTC will look into Visa (VA) and Mastercard (MA) regarding debit card transaction routing, but the analyst doesn't view this as overly material to the companies, as U.S. PIN debit is "only about 2% of revenue... as these are much lower-priced transactions than average." The analyst estimated that the companies earn "maybe 2c-3c on a PIN debit transaction compared with 7c-8c on a signature debit transaction."
