Greetings from San Francisco
Welcome U.S. Payments Forum members to the July Member Quarterly Bulletin. As many of you prepare for our mid-year two-day all members meeting being held July 11-12 at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport, it’s a good opportunity to remind you about the change in meeting frequency this year. This July meeting is the second of three in-person meetings for the Forum. We hope you will also join us for the third and final meeting of the year, which is scheduled for November 6-7, 2018 at the Hyatt Lodge in Oak Brook, IL, at the site of the former McDonald’s headquarters campus near Chicago.
The Forum leadership has put together another excellent agenda for the July meeting, providing a balance of industry stakeholder update reports, roundtable topics and keynote speakers, educational sessions, birds of a feather discussion groups, and our working committee breakout sessions.
One of the keynote speakers is Lance Johnson, who recently became the Executive Director for the PCI Security Standards Council. He will be sharing news about standards activity for payments security, including the release of the new Pin on Glass specifications for online mobile devices. We are also pleased to once again welcome Brian Byrne, Director of Operations at EMVCo, who will speak on a number of timely specifications projects underway at EMVCo, including Secure Remote Commerce, 3DS 2.0, Next Gen EMV, and payment tokenization.
As an added special session, we have organized a panel entitled Report from the Steering Committee. This is a multi-stakeholder session to review key Forum accomplishments, activities and member feedback and to discuss strategic directions for the Forum. It is being moderated by Kristy Cook of Target, who is the chair of the Steering Committee.
Whether you are a global payment brand, issuer, merchant, processor, domestic payment network, industry supplier, system integrator, or industry association partner, your participation in the Forum meetings and the working committees is crucial to continued success by the Forum. Active participation from many allows us to take on serious issues and implementation challenges and provide advanced education around the technologies and payments policies that are shaping the current and future of payments in the United States.
I hope everyone is enjoying the first few weeks of summer and I look forward to seeing you in San Francisco this week.
One final calendar note: please save the date - March 11-14, 2019 - for the second annual joint 2019 Payments Summit Conference and U.S. Payments Forum All Members Meeting. It will be held at the Hyatt Regency in Phoenix, AZ. We welcome your attendance and participation! |

The Communications & Education Working Committee published the new white paper, Signature Best Practices, providing guidance on suggested best practices for capturing and storing signatures at physical POS locations. The white paper covers the following topics:
- Reviews stakeholder impact of signature requirements for payment cards
- Provides signature recommendations by payment network for card-present transactions
- Summarizes chargeback impact by payment network for signature recommendations
The Forum Steering Committee published a V1.4 update to the U.S. Debit EMV Technical Proposal to clarify consumer application selection with multi-funding cards. The update was done to respond to Forum member input that the published document had confusing language in one section.
