9 THE NAFCU JOURNAL March–April 2023 NAFCU’s ardent advocacy against the CCCA successfully kept the legislation out of the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act and the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending package. The financial services industry was united against the unpopular bill and, as a result, it failed to gain traction in Congress. Should this legislation be introduced again in the 118th Congress, you’ ll once again see NAFCU fighting on the front lines. The association will continue to educate lawmakers on the consequences of interchange caps on consumers and fight against any future efforts to advance similar bills. Subscribe to the association’s daily e-newsletter, NAFCU Today, and follow NAFCU on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram for the latest out of Washington.

At NAFCU, our award-winning advocacy team is working closely with new leadership in Congress on both sides of the aisle and we’re continuing to build strong relationships with new and returning lawmakers to tout the credit union difference on Capitol Hill.”
