Financial Services

Risky financial products and practices can undermine household stability and, when left unchecked, put the entire economy at risk. The financial crisis showed what happens when excessive risk-taking by financial institutions goes unaddressed: millions of families lost their homes, jobs, businesses, and life savings. Policymakers have a responsibility to prevent this kind of harm from happening again. Strong consumer financial protections are essential to safeguarding families and ensuring that our financial system supports a stable, productive, and fair economy.
