NAFCU supports CFPB delay of payday rule, removal of ability to repay portions

National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions (NAFCU) President and CEO Dan Berger issued the following statement after the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) reissued its final payday lending rule:

“We are pleased that the CFPB is going to delay the payday rule for further consideration,” said NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger. “NAFCU supports the removal of problematic ability to repay portions of the rule, but we also want to ensure, that going forward, the egregious practices of certain payday lenders are addressed.  Credit unions provide many forms of small-dollar loans and other affordable products to their members, and NAFCU urges all consumers to consider a credit union for their financial needs.”
