CUNA to Congress: We Support FinTech Growth in a Fair Regulatory Environment

September 28, 2018

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE       

CONTACT: Lauren Williams – CUNA Communications; (202) 626-7642; lwilliams@cuna.coop    

Washington, DC (September 27, 2018) – Tomorrow financial technology (fintech) companies will gather for a House Financial Services Committee (HFSC) hearing to examine opportunities for financial markets in the digital era. Credit Union National Association (CUNA) wrote to Congress ahead of the hearing to show support for fintech growth in the financial services marketplace but also stress the need for a fair regulatory scheme.  

An excerpt from the letter reads: “Although CUNA supports the innovations developed and brought into the marketplace by fintech, we remain concerned the regulatory environment might create an environment in which consumers do not receive the same protections from unregulated businesses that offer services traditionally offered by credit unions and banks.” 

Credit unions embrace technological advancements from companies outside of the typical financial services space and see the benefit it provides consumers. Partnerships have been formed with fintech companies to ensure credit unions provide modern and efficient services for today’s American consumer.
