Webinar Explores CFPB’s Proposed Regulatory Shifts, Redefining Earned Wage Access

BY: Felicia DeInnocentiis | 10/01/24

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) recently proposed a new interpretive rule on earned wage access (EWA) products, reversing dramatically from their previous position in 2020 when the CFPB issued an advisory opinion stating that EWA products did not constitute “credit” under the Truth in Lending Act (TILA).

Delve into the potential financial challenges facing low and moderate-income employees and the implications stemming from the CFPB’s interpretation with PayrollOrg’s webinar, “Redefining Earned Wage Access: Navigating the CFPB’s Proposed Regulatory Shifts,” on October 9 at 1:00 p.m. ET.
