Domestic license in China provides some competitive advantage for co-branding (to captureChina outbound cross-border volume).The domestic opportunity was downplayed (Alipay /WeChat Pay are ubiquitous, CUP share difficult to eat into with major issuers all state-owned), butlikely provides a modest advantage for MA relative to V in their competition for co-brands (Chinesecards need for cross-border utility) due to having a more positive political perception (MA haslicensed tech to UnionPay, generally perceived as more friendly to China).Digital Euro likely to launch, but value proposition is unclear.The launch of a digital Euro is viewedas inevitable, but does not present a clear value proposition given Europe's payment systems arealready well developed. Further, uptake will be challenged by the fact that utility requires widespreadusage/acceptance by consumers/merchants. However, a digital Euro launched by the EuropeanCentral Bank would have nearly unlimited resources and regulatory power supporting it, providing agreater likelihood of success vs. previous private attempts, such as EPI's Wero.US state attempts at regulating interchange worth keeping an eye on. Illinois recently passedlegislation banning interchange on sales taxes and gratuities, which goes into effect in July '25,but is currently being challenged. The regulation presents potential technical issues - with gratuityand sales tax data often not captured/reported at the POS. More states (Texas, Georgia, D.C.) havefollowed with similar legislation.Please see important disclosure information on pages 4 - 10 of this report.This report is intended for Jefferies clients only.
