Statement

ABA Applauds House Disapproval of CFPB Overdraft Rule

“We applaud the House’s passage of the Congressional Review Act resolution overturning the CFPB’s eleventh-hour overdraft rule, and we thank House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill and Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott for their leadership on this important issue. Consumers have indicated time and time again that they value and appreciate this highly regulated service and don’t want banks to discontinue offering it because of a rule that imposes unlawful government price caps. Congress has acted decisively to right that wrong and ensure America’s banks can continue offering this important, optional service consumers rely upon to meet their short-term financial needs. We appreciate the administration’s support and look forward to President Trump quickly signing this resolution into law.”
