ARLINGTON, Va. — NAFCU has told the Federal Reserve that the group likes its idea of creating an exception for receipts on purchases under $15, but said the regulator could do more.

"NAFCU generally supports the creation of a small-dollar exception; however, we would recommend that the threshold for the receipt requirement be raised from $15 to $25," NAFCU President/CEO Fred Becker wrote in a comment letter to the Fed. Currently, receipts are required for all electronic funds transfer transactions at electronic terminals, regardless of the amount.

Becker asserted that $25 would be consistent with current payment card association rules, including minimum chargeback limits, and that anecdotal evidence suggests that consumers tend not to retain receipts for transactions under $25 anyway.
