EPC Statement on Secure Payments Partnership

The below statement can be attributed to Jeff Tassey, Chairman of the Board of EPC, on the creation of the Secure Payments Partnership: 

“Here retailers go again, lobbying Washington for further regulation in the interest of cutting their own costs instead of protecting their customers from fraud. Despite claims, all players in the payments ecosystem—including retailers—have the opportunity to provide feedback and participate in the process. We must all be committed to providing consumers with security and innovation without impeding consumer choice.”
