Defense Credit Union Council

Summary: The Defense Credit Union Council (DCUC) supports the OCC's interim final order because it preempts the Illinois Interchange Fee Prohibition Act, which the organization argues would create a fragmented, unworkable, and costly patchwork of state-by-state payment mandates. They emphasize that the order preserves a uniform national payments infrastructure essential for military families and ensures that transaction data can be used for critical functions like fraud analysis and risk management.
