NAFCU's regulatory affairs team has a busy week ahead as it hosts a small-dollar loan working group discussion on Friday and meets with Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) Acting Director Jamal El-Hindi on Wednesday.

The small-dollar loan working group discussion will include representatives from several NAFCU-member credit unions, Pew Research Center, Center for Financial Services Innovation (CFSI) and Filene Research Institute. They will be discussing the implications of the CFPB's payday lending rulemaking, among other things.
