Summary

This joint resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to disapprove and nullify a rule issued by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB) in December 2024. The CFPB rule would have designated larger digital payment applications (such as mobile payment apps and digital wallets) as "larger participants" in the consumer payment market, subjecting them to increased federal supervision and examination. By passing this resolution, Congress blocks the CFPB rule from taking effect, meaning these digital payment platforms will not face the additional regulatory oversight that the rule would have imposed. The resolution prevents the CFPB from treating major digital payment services the same way it treats traditional financial institutions for supervisory purposes.
