Two weeks ago the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) sent a sign-on letter to attorneys general across the nation urging the implementation of chip and PIN technology in their states. The letter, to be sent to major card brands and issuers after those attorneys general added their signatures, sets forth the belief that chip and PIN should be the standard in the US and should be implemented without delay. This letter contains several mis-characterizations of security technology currently being used in the financial services industry, and directly contradicts the official positions of all four federal bank regulators, including the CFPB.
In response to this letter sent by the NAAG, CBI in conjunction with the Iowa Bankers Association and the Iowa Credit Union League have issued a statement to Iowa's Attorney General Tom Miller asking that he either decline to sign the above mentioned NAAG letter, or to withdraw his support if already given.
