Plain-English Summary

The proposal would require credit card companies to allow customers to choose which payment network (like Visa or Mastercard) processes their transactions, rather than having the card issuer make that choice automatically. This could give consumers more options and potentially lower fees, though it would affect how credit card companies, banks, and payment networks operate their businesses. The change aims to increase competition in the credit card processing industry.
