NAFCU continues opposition to proposed interchange bill ([link removed] )

NAFCU wrapped up the 2022 Congressional Caucus in Washington, D.C. earlier this week, where credit unions were able to hear from lawmakers and regulators and meet with them directly. Interchange remains a hot topic in the credit union industry, as it was discussed during several sessions throughout the event, with attendees taking concerns about the Credit Card Competition Act (CCCA) to the Hill in meetings with lawmakers. The CCCA, which aims to benefit big box retailers by extending debit routing requirements to credit interchange, was introduced by Senators Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Roger Marshall, R-Kansas, earlier this summer and is the main topic for series of retailer fly-ins that started this week as big box retailers try to advance this legislation at the expense of community institutions and consumers.
