Congress voided a CFPB rule that would have let it supervise large digital payment app companies like it does banks.

45-second read · 4 questions answered below

What does this do?

This law cancels a CFPB rule that would have allowed the agency to supervise large digital payment app companies similarly to big banks and credit unions. Using the , Congress formally rejected the rule, so it has no legal effect. The CFPB is also barred from creating a substantially similar rule unless Congress authorizes it.

Who does it affect?

Large companies operating digital payment apps, such as mobile wallets or peer-to-peer payment services, are directly affected. Everyday consumers who use these apps, and to a lesser extent banks and credit unions already under similar regulation, are also affected.

Why does it matter?

The CFPB will have less direct authority to examine and supervise these payment companies for compliance with consumer protection laws. Consumers using these apps will have reduced federal oversight of the companies handling their transactions.
