Call to Action: Current Credit Union Advocacy Issues
Oppose H.R. 903/S. 4943
New Jersey & Pennsylvania Credit Unions
House and Senate legislation was recently introduced to amend the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA). The legislation, H.R. 903/S. 4943, would have a huge financial impact on credit unions by shifting losses of fraudulent acts, undelivered merchandise, or incorrect wiring information to credit unions and other financial institutions.
Congress needs to hear how severely this could impact your credit union. CrossState urges you to visit the Grassroots Action Center today to contact your member of Congress and ask them to oppose the legislation.

Oppose S. 1838
New Jersey & Pennsylvania Credit Unions
Senate legislation was recently introduced that would disrupt credit card payment systems. The legislation, S. 1838 the Durbin/Marshall Big Box Bill, poses a serious risk to credit card fraud prevention and data security by mandating the use of third-party payment networks.
Congress needs to understand that consumers want their credit cards and data to be safe and secure. Join CrossState today and send a letter to your member of Congress opposing this legislation.
