Consumer Groups Support Proposed CFPB Ban on NSF Fees

CFA and nine other consumer advocacy organizations filed comments in response to the CFPB’s notice of proposed rulemaking which would prohibit financial institutions from charging fees for instantaneously declined transactions. NSF fees penalize vulnerable consumers without providing any benefit, and the comment supports the CFPB’s proposal to prohibit these fees as an abusive practice under the Consumer Financial Protection Act.
