Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Rule for big payment apps canceled

The law cancels the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule for large, general-use payment apps. It disapproves the final rule published December 10, 2024 (89 Fed. Reg. 99582). The rule now has no force or effect. The Bureau cannot implement, enforce, or rely on it to define larger participants. This eases oversight for big payment-app firms but may reduce protections for people who use these apps.
