👀 Look at these consumer advocates asking for a 36% maximum APR, to call Earned Wage Access what it is - a payday loan app - and fund the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. #ProtectConsumers #CAD2026

Consumer advocates have fiercely opposed Enova’s proposed deal, noting the company has faced charges that it violated federal consumer financial protection laws. 1/2 @BLaw @SenWarren @ChrisVanHollen #ProtectConsumers #RentaBank #Fintech https://t.co/krXIG6MMHG

Thank you @SenWarren & @ChrisVanHollen for working to stop new high-cost loans in states with interest rate caps. @USOCC @FederalReserve must stop Enova from merging with Grasshopper Bank.

Time and again, Trump has failed to deliver on his promise to cap credit card interest rates at 10%.

The latest test – will his regulators allow a bank to charge interest rates of more than 100% to families across America already struggling with rising costs?

[Center for Responsible Lending @CRLONLINE]

Federal banking regulators should reject Enova's bid to buy a national bank because it would allow them to issue high-cost loans in states with interest rate caps, said @SenWarren @ChrisVanHollen. #StopTheDebtTrap

A payday loan on your phone is still a payday loan.

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

The Trump Administration gutted consumer protection laws that kept payday lenders and other bad actors from ripping off consumers.

I just brought an effort to the floor to put families first and restore these guardrails! Republicans sided with payday lenders.
