Consumer Group Calls for Overdraft Moratorium During Pandemic; Affiliated Credit Union Only Offers Partial Waiver
Financial regulators, including the National Credit Union Administration, should “do the right thing” and prohibit banks and credit unions from charging any overdraft or insufficient fund fees during the pandemic, the Center for Responsible Lending said in a new report Wednesday.
But a credit union affiliated with the center is not following that recommendation and is only waiving insufficient fund fees for up to two items a month.
