The key variables defining remuneration flows in the card
payments eco-system between the players are MIF and MSC
When a client pays a product
by card to merchant, the
transaction flow can be
described in 4 steps:
a) Cardholder’s account is
debited for 100€ by Issuer
b) Issuer transfers 100€ to
Acquirer
c) Acquirer transfers 100€
minus merchant service
charge (composed mainly
of MIF, card scheme fees
and acquirer’s margin^)
d) Acquirer transfers MIF to
Issuer
e) Acquirer and issuer
transfer card scheme fees
f) The merchant pays
Merchant Service Charge
(MSC) to the acquirer
normally at the end of the
month

• European regulators
have been actively
working on the Payment
Package (Payment
services Directive 2 and
MIF regulation), bringing
forward numerous
initiatives regarding both
Issuing and Acquiring
side
• The regulation focuses
on lowering cost of card
acceptance through
regulating interchange
fees and increasing
competition at the
network level
• Final version of the
regulation is expected to
be issued in the end of
H1 2015 and
enforcements to come in
the end of the 2015
• Processing to be separated from schemes’ managers in
order to promote healthy competition among processors
• Latest compromise: “separated accounting and organization”
Brief description
• The merchants will be able to steer customers to lower cost
payment method and limit card accepted to lower fee card
• Cards with the same MIF cannot be steered
• Prohibition of preventing co-badging with multiple brands and
allowance of the ability for customer to choose at POS
• No restrictions on POS application / terminals limiting the
choice
• The surcharge will be forbidden for 4-party schemes, while
will be allowed for other payment methods (AmEx, Diners, ...)
• The charges can be equal to or lower than the actual cost to
payee
• Acquirers will have to provide the details namely the acquirer
fees, interchange fees, and network fees separately
• By 1 January 2015, Visa has committed to allow cross-border
acquirers (residing in another country than the one where the
acquired merchant is based) to apply reduced interchange
fees of 0.3% for credit and 0.2% for debit transactions

EU commission regulation will impose MIF caps that will impact all
of the players in the payment eco-system
Initiative and timing
• EU commission regulation
is expected to harmonize
and lower MIFs (0.3% for
credit and 0.2% for debit) on
all transactions by
September 2015 or
September 2016 (timeframe
is strictly related to ECON*
approval) in Europe**
• While in the short-term
only transaction by VISA
(thanks to cross-border
acquiring) will be impacted,
in 2016 both VISA and
MasterCard volumes on
consumer cards will have
lower MIFs applied

Among the players involved the banks will be directly
impacted on both acquiring and issuing side
• Merchant will benefit from lower MSC applied, due to MIF reduction
• Cardholders would have a mixed effect driven by two potential effects:
- Higher card usage due to increased acceptance by merchants
- Lower new card adoption due to potential higher card fees applied by banks (annual card fee + price
increase on additional services)
• 4-party card schemes are expected to have no specific effects, if not depending on increased /
decreased transacted volumes
• MasterCard could eventually benefit during the VISA CBA initiative, as banks will have the incentive to
issue MasterCard’s cards (in case MasterCard doesn’t lower CBA MIFs)

Merchant
Description
• AmEx will be indirectly impacted, both negatively - merchants will demand lower prices and positively
– lower prices will potentially push acceptance and cards issued
Issuing bank • After the EC initiative enforcement banks will face significant losses on issuing side
• In the short-term (till the end of 2015), if MasterCard does not follow VISA in CBA initiative, banks will
start to have limited impacts proportioned to adoption of CBA, with the speed of the revenue fall
depending on the strategies adopted by acquiring banks on CBA side
• Banks will implement alternative strategies to recover from losses
Acquiring
bank
• Acquiring banks which become cross-border acquirers could benefit from the MIF lowering, making
some extra-margin on the smaller merchants who are having less bargaining power and have less
awareness about regulation

• European
regulator
considers this
situation
anticompetitive
• Coming
regulations are
changing the
“rules of the
game” eliminating
MIF barrier and
opening new
opportunities for
cross-border
acquiring
The new cross-border acquiring rules reshape
European competitive framework for cross-border
acquirers as lowered MIF levels will apply Acquiring
11
• Now cross-border acquiring occurs when
a card is issued in a different country from
the country where transaction occurs
• Cross-border acquirers (CBA) must apply
the Multilateral interchange fee (MIF) of
merchant’s country
• since the MIF accounts generally for
~70-90% of the total Merchant Service
Charge (MSC), there is limited room for
competition on price
• For these reason, nowadays cross-border
acquiring rules limit the possibility for a
merchant to benefit from better conditions
offered by acquirers established outside of
the domestic market
“As-is” situation: cross-border acquiring
New CBA rules
• Cross-border acquiring will occur
whenever the acquirer manages the
transaction in a country different
from the country where the
transaction occurs
• Cross-border acquirers from 1/2015
will apply a reduced cross-border
fee (0.3% for credit and 0.2% for
debit transactions) for cross-border
transactions within European
Economic Area (EEA*)
• The cap of MIF for credit card
transactions at 0.3% after two years
will be applied also to domestic
transactions in ten Member States**

Strategy
options
• Bank adopts CBA and
switches its clients (if
requested) to CBA contracts
in order to preserve its
market share
Description
• Bank does not adopt CBA
and continues to run the
acquiring business as it is
run now (only domestic)
Defensive
• Bank adopts CBA,
converting all merchants to
CBA contracts and trying to
acquire new merchants
(clients of non-CBA banks) to
increase its market share
Aggressive
Impact on
Acquiring
• Immediate loss of
clients who
demand CBA and
related acquiring
revenues
(especially large
corporates)
• No impact, the
bank keeps its
clients base
• Gradual increase
of acquiring
revenues due to
market share
gained from CBA
services
Do nothing
Strategic
considerations
• Suboptimal
strategy given
maximum loss on
issuing ad
acquiring
• Becoming CBA is a
dominant strategy for
banks with relevant
acquiring market share,
as it will permit to:
- Avoid loss on large
corporates and other
clients demanding
CBA services
- Extract the potential
extra-margins (see
next slide)
• Both the options
outstand the
“do nothing”
strategy
• The choice
between the two
options depends
on the
comparison
between potential
benefits from
acquiring and
related losses
from issuing

ILLUSTRATIVE
•Large corporates are expected to
request immediately the MSC
adjustment due to their higher
knowledge of regulation
framework with consequent
savings on their costs
•The demand for lower MSC will
likely be extended to 3-party
schemes
•Without regulation intervention,
the MSC is expected case by
case to lower depending on
the ability of the merchant to
renegotiate the MSC
•Without regulation intervention,
the MSC is expected to remain

Issuing
management
model Description
• The bank has commercial relationship with clients and is the issuer of
the card with all connected liabilities
• In proprietary management model the bank tends to manage entire
Value Chain in-house, ...
• ... still some parts of Value Chain could be outsourced to third-party
provider (e.g. processing, customer care, ...)
• All the revenues are of the bank and costs are prevalently actively
managed
• The bank has commercial relationship with clients and is the issuer of
the card (the cards are issued under bank’s brand)
• Value Chain is managed by third party that offers to the bank white
labelling outsourcing
• The bank has the ability to define the product and connected services
with the consequent cost structure
Source: Value Partners benchmark data and analysis
Issuing management models and relative ability to act on revenues and costs
• As shown before the
revenue from issuing have
a certain effect of declining
in the long-term
• The impacts on net
profitability of the business
will mainly depend on:
- The ability to react on the
cost side of the business
–driven also by the cost
management model
- Possibility of new
strategies on revenue
side in order to replenish
the losses

•The banks will be actively looking for additional revenue
streams in the card business, also through establishing
commercial partnerships with other players not impacted by
regulation
•Banks will sell additional card services (e.g. travel insurance,
...) in order to increase the revenue stream from card business
•On consumer side it will mean less free basic services and
expensive additional services (for 4-party schemes cards)
•Banks will try to strip the services in the basic cards linked to
current accounts in order to keep low the maintenance cost of
the card
•Banks will be less eager to engage in loyalty programs on
their cards (if not offered for free by loyalty program)
•Most of the banks are assumed to increase the card fees
transferring the loss of revenues to the customers

Due to impacts from regulation ... ... core strategic initiatives
4-party schemes
•Many of the initiatives of Payment
Package (Payment services
Directive 2 and MIF regulation) will
have only indirect and potentially
uncertain effects
•Some initiatives regard directly 4-
party card schemes and will (if
validated in final version) produce
concrete operational impacts (e.g.
separation of card schemes and
processing, surcharges prohibition,
...)
•No matter how the regulatory
environment changes, some core
strategic initiatives will remain
among main priorities for 4-party
card schemes

• If legal or organizational separation is required,
4 party Card Scheme Provider will have to face
some new challenges as a:
- New organization and separate accounting
systems, necessary to continue providing
services in the short run
- Separate legal entities, management and
decision making ability, necessary to set up
to guarantee services in the long-run
- Potential increase in operating costs in the
nearest future
• 4-party schemes will look to
further drive customers from
cash to electronic payments,
through:
- Investing in technology and
enhanced security standards
(also to justify the potential
increase in card fees that
banks might apply)
- Expand in the geographies
with still high share of cash
usage
- Innovate and bring new
products and services
(cardless payments, e-
commerce security, ...)
- Increase pricing
transparency towards
merchants to further push the
levels of acceptance
- Build new partnerships (e.g.
Apple pay)

UKNE-PracticeDoc-150116-17
17
For AmEx (3 party card scheme) the impacts will be
indirect and will produce double effect: decrease of
revenues from MSC and potential gain in market share
44
• In case of American Express it
would be directly impacted only* by
initiative of permitting surcharge for
3-party schemes, while forbidding
the same for 4-party schemes
• The most relevant impact will
derive from indirect effects of MIF
lowering
•After MIF lowering the general
decrease of MSC is expected and
consequently merchants will
require lower prices to all operators
of card payments eco-system
•Several European countries have
already adjusted domestic MIF
levels closer to the levels of the new
MIF levels (e.g. Poland, Germany,
Hungary, ...) anticipating the above
mentioned effects
... on
average
MSC
... on
market
share
Expected indirect impacts* from MIF reduction ...
• Similar situation was verified in Australia, where
average MIF was reduced from 0.95 p.p. to 0.55 p.p
(42% reduction)
• As a consequence of this intervention AmEx has lost 41
bps in the 4 years to follow (aprox. 10 bps per year)
• Comparing to Italian market where the average
reduction of MIF** is expected to exceed 50% ...
• ... the expected annual margin reduction would be
around 10-15 bps per year (with a total impact on
marginality in 3 years of 30-45 bps)
• Given the lower cost for merchants to accept AmEx
cards there will be consequent benefits in terms of
acceptance
• On the other hand, banks will increase card fees, making
AmEx cards gaining competitiveness in terms of
pricing
• Given higher AmEx products marginality it will be
easier to establish partnerships with banks
• These factors will permit to boost the development of
the infrastructure and gain market share

Merchant • Merchants will have a positive effect that will be driven mainly by Large
merchants that are more aware of regulation and have higher bargaining
power, demanding single counterpart for global servicing, more transparency and
lower prices
• In fact, not only will merchant see MSC reduction, but a series of other initiatives
will give merchants more transparency on the pricing from the banks ...

In a nutshell…
• The use of non-cash transactions has constantly increased during the last years, with Europe still
having larger room for cash substitution
• With regards to card usage Europe has shown the slowest growth compared to other geographies
and has the lowest share compared to other geographies
• European regulators have launched a series new requirements to push card payments through two
key initiatives impacting Multilateral Interchange Fee:
- Cross-border acquiring lower interchange fees
- MIF reduction for consumer debit and credit transactions
• The first initiative creates a new European competitive framework for cross-border acquirers and
forces relevant acquirers to become cross-border, as not doing so would result in potential loss of
large clients and lack of competitiveness, with a growing number of players looking to establish
dedicated to Acquiring Partnerships with specialized players (e.g Global Payment, First Data, )
• In the long-term there will be a significant reduction in the revenue pool on the Issuing side with
banks that will implement alternative strategies to replenish the losses, including also thinking to
new partnership with the Card Schemes less impacted by the new regulation
• The new regulation will impact mainly the 4 Party Card Schemes from an operative point of view,
while 3 Party Card Schemes will be impacted mostly indirectly
• The merchants will be the winning players in this game due to lower prices and higher
transparency, while the effects on card users are uncertain

UKNE-PracticeDoc-150116-5 5 Issuing bank Acquiring bank The key variables defining remuneration flows in the card payments eco-system between the players are MIF and MSC When a client pays a product by card to merchant, the transaction flow can be described in 4 steps: a) Cardholder’s account is debited for 100€ by Issuer b) Issuer transfers 100€ to Acquirer c) Acquirer transfers 100€ minus merchant service charge (composed mainly of MIF, card scheme fees and acquirer’s margin^) d) Acquirer transfers MIF to Issuer e) Acquirer and issuer transfer card scheme fees f) The merchant pays Merchant Service Charge (MSC) to the acquirer normally at the end of the month Illustrative scheme of the payment flowCase description ILLUSTRATIVE - not on us transaction 100€ 100€ 98.5€ 0.9€MIF* a b c d At the end, on 100 euro of transaction, merchant gets 98.5 €, issuer 0.9€, acquirer gets 0.5€ and card schemes 0.1 € a b c d Acquirer retains a percentage (hp 0,5%=0,5€) of the transaction as acquiring margin 0.1€ Card Scheme e e ^ Clearing and settlement fees not considered because marginal f Merchant Cardholder MSC**f Definitions of key variables * Multilateral Interchange Fee (MIF) a fee that a merchant's bank (the "acquiring bank") pays a customer's bank (the "issuing bank") ** Merchant Service Charge (MSC) a fee that a merchant pays to acquiring bank for the service of being able to accept card payments
  • 7. UKNE-PracticeDoc-150116-6 6 To boost the secular migration to electronic payments, European regulators are launching a series new requirements in Europe to further push card payments Separation of card schemes and processing* Steering rules / Honour all cards rules* Co-badging and choice of application* Fee unbundling (MIF++ reporting) Cross-border acquiring 3-party schemes: fees and surcharges* • European regulators have been actively working on the Payment Package (Payment services Directive 2 and MIF regulation), bringing forward numerous initiatives regarding both Issuing and Acquiring side • The regulation focuses on lowering cost of card acceptance through regulating interchange fees and increasing competition at the network level • Final version of the regulation is expected to be issued in the end of H1 2015 and enforcements to come in the end of the 2015 • Processing to be separated from schemes’ managers in order to promote healthy competition among processors • Latest compromise: “separated accounting and organization” Brief description • The merchants will be able to steer customers to lower cost payment method and limit card accepted to lower fee card • Cards with the same MIF cannot be steered • Prohibition of preventing co-badging with multiple brands and allowance of the ability for customer to choose at POS • No restrictions on POS application / terminals limiting the choice • The surcharge will be forbidden for 4-party schemes, while will be allowed for other payment methods (AmEx, Diners, ...) • The charges can be equal to or lower than the actual cost to payee • Acquirers will have to provide the details namely the acquirer fees, interchange fees, and network fees separately • By 1 January 2015, Visa has committed to allow cross-border acquirers (residing in another country than the one where the acquired merchant is based) to apply reduced interchange fees of 0.3% for credit and 0.2% for debit transactions Our understanding of main new regulatory initiatives in Europe, as of end of Feb 2015 InitiativesinIssuing Initiatives in Acquiring MIF reduction for consumer debit and credit transactions • Interchange fees to be set at 30bps for credit and 20bps for debit card transactions for all four-party schemes • As of now 3-party schemes are excluded Impacts on card schemes 3-party 4-party Indirectly Indirectly Indirectly Directly Indirectly Directly Indirectly * Details in attachment GNS Focus of the next slides
  • 8. UKNE-PracticeDoc-150116-7 7 EU commission regulation will impose MIF caps that will impact all of the players in the payment eco-system Initiative and timing • EU commission regulation is expected to harmonize and lower MIFs (0.3% for credit and 0.2% for debit) on all transactions by September 2015 or September 2016 (timeframe is strictly related to ECON* approval) in Europe** • While in the short-term only transaction by VISA (thanks to cross-border acquiring) will be impacted, in 2016 both VISA and MasterCard volumes on consumer cards will have lower MIFs applied MIF Card scheme fees Acquirer’s margin Expected effects on merchant service charge (MSC) ILLUSTRATIVE- Credit transaction * European Parliament Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs ** EU 28 Source: European commission 0,9% 0,3% 0,1% 0,5% 1,5% 0,9% 0,1% 0,5% AS-IS TO-BE Issuing bank Acquiring bank MerchantCardholder Schemes - 4-party Players impacted in Payment eco-system AmEx Loyalty programs

  • 10. UKNE-PracticeDoc-150116-9 9 Among the players involved the banks will be directly impacted on both acquiring and issuing side • Merchant will benefit from lower MSC applied, due to MIF reduction • Cardholders would have a mixed effect driven by two potential effects: - Higher card usage due to increased acceptance by merchants - Lower new card adoption due to potential higher card fees applied by banks (annual card fee + price increase on additional services) • 4-party card schemes are expected to have no specific effects, if not depending on increased / decreased transacted volumes • MasterCard could eventually benefit during the VISA CBA initiative, as banks will have the incentive to issue MasterCard’s cards (in case MasterCard doesn’t lower CBA MIFs) Card schemes / 4-party / 3-party Cardholder Merchant Description • AmEx will be indirectly impacted, both negatively - merchants will demand lower prices and positively – lower prices will potentially push acceptance and cards issued Issuing bank • After the EC initiative enforcement banks will face significant losses on issuing side • In the short-term (till the end of 2015), if MasterCard does not follow VISA in CBA initiative, banks will start to have limited impacts proportioned to adoption of CBA, with the speed of the revenue fall depending on the strategies adopted by acquiring banks on CBA side • Banks will implement alternative strategies to recover from losses Acquiring bank • Acquiring banks which become cross-border acquirers could benefit from the MIF lowering, making some extra-margin on the smaller merchants who are having less bargaining power and have less awareness about regulation Focus of the next slides 22 11 Impact GNS 33 44 Positive Negative Uncertain 55 55 • Loyalty program’s impacts will largely depend on the loyalty partner type (financial vs. not financial), with not financial partners not being impacted while financial partners’ impacts will depend on scheme used and client base Loyalty programs
  • 11. UKNE-PracticeDoc-150116-10 10 • European regulator considers this situation anticompetitive • Coming regulations are changing the “rules of the game” eliminating MIF barrier and opening new opportunities for cross-border acquiring The new cross-border acquiring rules reshape European competitive framework for cross-border acquirers as lowered MIF levels will apply Acquiring 11 • Now cross-border acquiring occurs when a card is issued in a different country from the country where transaction occurs • Cross-border acquirers (CBA) must apply the Multilateral interchange fee (MIF) of merchant’s country • since the MIF accounts generally for ~70-90% of the total Merchant Service Charge (MSC), there is limited room for competition on price • For these reason, nowadays cross-border acquiring rules limit the possibility for a merchant to benefit from better conditions offered by acquirers established outside of the domestic market “As-is” situation: cross-border acquiring New CBA rules • Cross-border acquiring will occur whenever the acquirer manages the transaction in a country different from the country where the transaction occurs • Cross-border acquirers from 1/2015 will apply a reduced cross-border fee (0.3% for credit and 0.2% for debit transactions) for cross-border transactions within European Economic Area (EEA*) • The cap of MIF for credit card transactions at 0.3% after two years will be applied also to domestic transactions in ten Member States** * EU 28 + Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway ** Belgium, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands and Sweden Source: European Commission
  • 12. UKNE-PracticeDoc-150116-11 11 Not becoming CBA in the short-term would result in potential loss of large clients and lack of competitiveness Acquiring 11 Strategy options • Bank adopts CBA and switches its clients (if requested) to CBA contracts in order to preserve its market share Description • Bank does not adopt CBA and continues to run the acquiring business as it is run now (only domestic) Defensive • Bank adopts CBA, converting all merchants to CBA contracts and trying to acquire new merchants (clients of non-CBA banks) to increase its market share Aggressive Impact on Acquiring • Immediate loss of clients who demand CBA and related acquiring revenues (especially large corporates) • No impact, the bank keeps its clients base • Gradual increase of acquiring revenues due to market share gained from CBA services Do nothing Strategic considerations • Suboptimal strategy given maximum loss on issuing ad acquiring • Becoming CBA is a dominant strategy for banks with relevant acquiring market share, as it will permit to: - Avoid loss on large corporates and other clients demanding CBA services - Extract the potential extra-margins (see next slide) • Both the options outstand the “do nothing” strategy • The choice between the two options depends on the comparison between potential benefits from acquiring and related losses from issuing
  • 13. UKNE-PracticeDoc-150116-12 12 Moreover becoming a CBA could permit to obtain some extra revenues in the short-term leveraging on less informed medium and small corporates Expected impact on MSC in the short-term Merchant cluster Large corporate Medium corporate Small corporate ILLUSTRATIVE •Large corporates are expected to request immediately the MSC adjustment due to their higher knowledge of regulation framework with consequent savings on their costs •The demand for lower MSC will likely be extended to 3-party schemes •Without regulation intervention, the MSC is expected case by case to lower depending on the ability of the merchant to renegotiate the MSC •Without regulation intervention, the MSC is expected to remain the same, due to low/none knowledge of regulatory evolution ILLUSTRATIVE ILLUSTRATIVE • MIF cap reduction will be around 40%- 60% of actual MIF, in the short run price decrease incorporation will probably depend on merchant cluster due to different bargaining power and regulation knowledge • This will potentially permit to CB acquirers to extract some extra-margin from the business Expected evidences Full MIF decrease incorporated However, in the long run MIF will tend to be fully incorporated in Merchant Service Charge for all merchant clusters 0,9% 0,3% 0,1% 0,5% 1,5% 0,9% 0,1% 0,5% Decrease not incorporated As-is To-be Acquirer margin MIF Scheme fees As-is To-be 1,1% 0,3% 0,1% 0,7% 1,5% 0,9% 0,1% 0,5% MIF decrease partially incorporated As-is To-be 1,5% 0,3% 0,1% 1,1% 1,5% 0,9% 0,1% 0,5% Acquiring Large merchants will demand to banks CBA service to lower their costs with consequent pressure also to 3-party schemes in order to push down their costs Acquirer margin MIF Scheme fees Acquirer margin MIF Scheme fees 11
  • 14. UKNE-PracticeDoc-150116-13 13 On the issuing side, in the long-term there will be a significant reduction in the revenue pool on MIF with a consequent shrink of bank’s profitability Issuing / 4-party Source: ECB, VP benchmarking data, Value Partners analysis 22 ILLUSTRATIVE • As estimated for a pool of benchmarked banks after the EC law enforcement the bank will lose more than half of its revenues from MIF • Overall issuing revenues (including card fees and interests) are expected to decline of 24%* according to our estimation • Applying these effects to estimate revenue pool from MIF reduction at the national level resulted in approximately €200Mln Regulation impact on Issuing revenue pool Revenue pool from MIF, Pool of Italian banks, Base 100 Card schemes considered: -5.1 (-43%) -48.0 (-55%) Revenue pool reduction Credit Debit To-be post-regulatory implementation 46,9 40,0 6,8 2013 100,0 88,0 12,0 -53.1 (-53%) * The MIF share on total Issuing revenues is 45% according to Value Partners benchmark study The speed of the impacts on VISA volumes will depend on the adoption of CBA initiative by acquiring banks (see attachment for details) • EU commission regulation that will the MIFs caps to 30bps for credit and 20bps for debit cards for VISA and MasterCard consumer cards transactions is expected to heavily impacts on the profitability of the Issuing business of the bank Estimation on italian issuing market
  • 15. UKNE-PracticeDoc-150116-14 14 The ability to recover the profitability of the issuing business will depend on the business model in place ... Issuing management model Description • The bank has commercial relationship with clients and is the issuer of the card with all connected liabilities • In proprietary management model the bank tends to manage entire Value Chain in-house, ... • ... still some parts of Value Chain could be outsourced to third-party provider (e.g. processing, customer care, ...) • All the revenues are of the bank and costs are prevalently actively managed • The bank has commercial relationship with clients and is the issuer of the card (the cards are issued under bank’s brand) • Value Chain is managed by third party that offers to the bank white labelling outsourcing • The bank has the ability to define the product and connected services with the consequent cost structure Source: Value Partners benchmark data and analysis Issuing management models and relative ability to act on revenues and costs • As shown before the revenue from issuing have a certain effect of declining in the long-term • The impacts on net profitability of the business will mainly depend on: - The ability to react on the cost side of the business –driven also by the cost management model - Possibility of new strategies on revenue side in order to replenish the losses 22 Ability to act on ... Revenues Costs In-house Player example: Hybrid Player example: Outsourced Player example: • The bank has commercial relationship with clients, but is not the issuer of the card • Entire Value Chain is managed by third party with the cards having its branding (e.g. CartaSi) and limited control of the product offered and the underling costs • The bank receives a rebate on the revenues per card agreed in the outsourcing model Issuing / 4-party
  • 16. UKNE-PracticeDoc-150116-15 15 ... with more room for action on the revenue side where banks will be looking for alternative strategies 22 Description •The banks will face a decrease in revenues, while having a rigid cost structure that will put at risk issuing bank’s profitability •To face the issue banks will take the actions on the revenue side Increase card fees Card offer restructuring Commercial Partnerships Additional services offering •The banks will be actively looking for additional revenue streams in the card business, also through establishing commercial partnerships with other players not impacted by regulation •Banks will sell additional card services (e.g. travel insurance, ...) in order to increase the revenue stream from card business •On consumer side it will mean less free basic services and expensive additional services (for 4-party schemes cards) •Banks will try to strip the services in the basic cards linked to current accounts in order to keep low the maintenance cost of the card •Banks will be less eager to engage in loyalty programs on their cards (if not offered for free by loyalty program) •Most of the banks are assumed to increase the card fees transferring the loss of revenues to the customers Strategy Issuing / 4-party
  • 17. UKNE-PracticeDoc-150116-16 16 The 4-party card schemes, including Amex GNS, will be impacted by the new regulation 33 Due to impacts from regulation ... ... core strategic initiatives 4-party schemes •Many of the initiatives of Payment Package (Payment services Directive 2 and MIF regulation) will have only indirect and potentially uncertain effects •Some initiatives regard directly 4- party card schemes and will (if validated in final version) produce concrete operational impacts (e.g. separation of card schemes and processing, surcharges prohibition, ...) •No matter how the regulatory environment changes, some core strategic initiatives will remain among main priorities for 4-party card schemes Card- holder Mer- chant Issuer Acquirer 1 2 separate entities? 2 • If legal or organizational separation is required, 4 party Card Scheme Provider will have to face some new challenges as a: - New organization and separate accounting systems, necessary to continue providing services in the short run - Separate legal entities, management and decision making ability, necessary to set up to guarantee services in the long-run - Potential increase in operating costs in the nearest future • 4-party schemes will look to further drive customers from cash to electronic payments, through: - Investing in technology and enhanced security standards (also to justify the potential increase in card fees that banks might apply) - Expand in the geographies with still high share of cash usage - Innovate and bring new products and services (cardless payments, e- commerce security, ...) - Increase pricing transparency towards merchants to further push the levels of acceptance - Build new partnerships (e.g. Apple pay) AmEx cards on GNS Card schemes (4-party) GNS
  • 18. UKNE-PracticeDoc-150116-17 17 For AmEx (3 party card scheme) the impacts will be indirect and will produce double effect: decrease of revenues from MSC and potential gain in market share 44 • In case of American Express it would be directly impacted only* by initiative of permitting surcharge for 3-party schemes, while forbidding the same for 4-party schemes • The most relevant impact will derive from indirect effects of MIF lowering •After MIF lowering the general decrease of MSC is expected and consequently merchants will require lower prices to all operators of card payments eco-system •Several European countries have already adjusted domestic MIF levels closer to the levels of the new MIF levels (e.g. Poland, Germany, Hungary, ...) anticipating the above mentioned effects ... on average MSC ... on market share Expected indirect impacts* from MIF reduction ... • Similar situation was verified in Australia, where average MIF was reduced from 0.95 p.p. to 0.55 p.p (42% reduction) • As a consequence of this intervention AmEx has lost 41 bps in the 4 years to follow (aprox. 10 bps per year) • Comparing to Italian market where the average reduction of MIF** is expected to exceed 50% ... • ... the expected annual margin reduction would be around 10-15 bps per year (with a total impact on marginality in 3 years of 30-45 bps) • Given the lower cost for merchants to accept AmEx cards there will be consequent benefits in terms of acceptance • On the other hand, banks will increase card fees, making AmEx cards gaining competitiveness in terms of pricing • Given higher AmEx products marginality it will be easier to establish partnerships with banks • These factors will permit to boost the development of the infrastructure and gain market share Total effect ++ == • The net effect is uncertain and will depend on how much market share AmEx will manage to gain * Global Network Services (GNS) business is not considered in this assessment; ** Estimated on effective MIF revenue received by pool of major Italian issuers Source: Reserve bank of Australia, industry reports, Value Partners internal benchmark data and analysis
  • 19.
