John Munn, Director Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance Jon Bruning, Attorney General Dale A. Comer, Assistant Attorney General Neb. Rev. Stat. § 8-157.01 (2012) creates standards and rules for automatic teller machines (ATMs), point-of-sale (POS) terminals, and other electronic transmissions by financial institutions in the State of Nebraska. Those electronic transmissions are accomplished through the use of switches, and a switch is defined, under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 8-101 (14) (2012), as any facility where electronic impulses or other indicia of a transaction originating at an automatic teller machine or point-of-sale terminal are received and are routed and transmitted to a financial institution, data processing center, or other switch, wherever located. Section 8-101(14) also provides that a switch may be a data processing center. Section 8-157.01 requires the Department of Banking and Finance (the Department) to approve the operation of any switch, and further requires that switches provide non-discriminatory access, operation and charges to financial institutions in the state. Issues have now arisen regarding the application of § 8-157.01 and its requirements for switches.
