Here's How We're Protecting Consumers:

On Friday, as the first part of the new BuySecure initiative, President Obama signed an Executive Order to help protect consumers’ financial security.

In his remarks, the President highlighted that millions of Americans suffer from credit card fraud and identity theft each year, and tens of millions have had their data breached in the last year alone. The Executive Order will help protect American consumers by:

• Assisting victims of identity theft
• Improving the government's payment security, as a customer and a provider
• Accelerating the transition to stronger security technologies and the development of next-generation payment security tools
