Selected Payments Regulatory Issues With regard to individual identity records, what role should companies and individuals have? Consumers prefer involvement, real-time methods and control Do notifications and penalties achieve desired results? If more control were enabled, what would the impact be? Are we encouraging factual awareness and decisions? Are fraud costs shared in ways that support action? Is technology a friend, foe or both? © 2009 Javelin Strategy & Research - Do not distribute or reproduce without permission
