Washington (June 8, 2017) -National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions (NAFCU) President and CEO Dan Berger today praised the passage ofthe Financial CHOICE Act (H.R. 10), which contains NAFCU-supported measures that would, among other provisions, ease some mortgage rules, require a review of appropriate risk capital levels and rein in the CFPB's authorities. The bill now awaits Senate action.
