Consumer Protection

Pricing/Disclosures

Consumers need to know the full costs and have clear information about the terms and conditions before they enter into transactions. CFA advocates for price transparency and against hidden fees. CFA also supports requirements for complete and easy-to-understand disclosures to help consumers make informed buying decisions.
