Our Issues
What's Impacting Customers and Communities
Debit and Credit Card Interchange
Some in Congress are proposing legislation that threatens the valuable benefits that consumers receive with their credit cards.
Digital Assets
Closing loopholes left open in the GENIUS Act will ensure that the digital asset market operates in a responsible, efficient, and secure manner.
Fraud Prevention
Fraud is a threat to all Americans, and without a large-scale plan to stop fraudsters, consumers will continue to be scammed out of their hard-earned money.
Interest Rate Caps
Protect consumers’ access to affordable credit and urge your lawmakers to oppose a 10% APR price cap on credit card interest rates.
