CUNA Opposes House Interchange Bill

September 19, 2022

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE   
September 19, 2022
Washington, D.C.

Credit Union National Association (CUNA) is working with Leagues, credit unions and other industry trade groups to counter efforts to undermine the current interchange system. 

Reps. Peter Welch, D-Vt., and Lance Gooden, R-Texas, today introduced the House version of the Credit Card Competition Act. Sens. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., and Dick Durbin, D-Ill., introduced the bill in the Senate in August. 

“This bill would break a system that we know works, and put consumers’ sensitive financial data at risk, just to give big box retailers yet another windfall,” said CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle. “We will continue to stand behind credit unions and other community financial institutions in strong opposition to this bill.” 

CUNA issued an action alert calling on credit unions to send messages of opposition to Capitol Hill, resulting in more than 27,000 messages as of this week. 

CUNA also launched a Member Activation Program (MAP) campaign encouraging credit unions to activate their members in opposition.
