CU, Banking Trade Groups Fighting 36% Loan Interest Rate Cap Legislation
Credit union and banking trade groups are asking Congress to ignore proposals to impose a 36% fee and interest cap on loans made by financial institutions.
“The proposed 36% fee and interest cap would make it more difficult for many consumers to obtain credit, thereby harming the very consumers the legislation seeks to protect. Congress should reject these legislative measures,” the groups, including the Credit Union National Association, the National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions, the American Bankers Association and the Independent Community Bankers of America, wrote, in a letter to the Senate Banking Committee.
