“We thank CFPB Director Mick Mulvaney for speaking before over 5,000 credit union advocates today. Mr. Mulvaney highlighted concerns about past CFPB rulemakings that caused unprecedented regulatory burden for credit unions. CUNA appreciates the Director’s remarks about the important work that the credit union industry does for consumers, and we look forward to continuing our work with the CFPB to ensure that future efforts focus on bad actors and limit unintended negative consequences on safe and affordable credit union products and services.”
