Competition and Consumer Banking: Bank Mergers, Credit Cards, and the Capital One-Discover Deal

  • October 30, 2024 - 2:30 pm ET

In September, the Department of Justice announced that it would withdraw its 1995 bank merger guidelines and apply its 2023 merger guidelines for all industries, a move that some have interpreted as signaling stricter review of bank mergers. At the same time, Congress is considering the “Credit Card Competition Act,” which purports to promote competition in the credit card network space. Join us for a discussion of these topics and their implications for consumers, competition, and the economy as well as Capital One’s proposed acquisition of Discover.

Featuring:

  • Prof. Todd Zywicki, George Mason University Foundation Professor of Law, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University
  • Sen. Patrick Toomey, Former United States Senator (PA), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Banking
  • Dr. Diana Moss, Vice President and Director of Competition Policy, Progressive Policy Institute
  • Moderator: Jelena McWilliams, Managing Partner and Head of the Financial Institutions Group, Cravath, Swaine, & Moore Washington, D.C. office, Former Chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
