Best Practices - Part I
Fastwire Cash is proud to be a member in good standing of the Community Financial
Services Association of America (CFSA) and we adhere to all of the Industry Best
Practices below:
- Full Disclosure. A member will comply with the disclosure requirements of
the state in which the payday advance office is located and with Federal disclosure
requirements including the Federal Truth in Lending Act. A contract between a member
and the customer must fully outline the terms of the payday advance transaction.
Members agree to disclose the cost of the service fee both as a dollar amount and
as an annual percentage rate (“APR”). A member, in compliance with CFSA guidelines
where they do not conflict with applicable federal, state or local requirements,
will further ensure full disclosure by making rates clearly visible to customers
before they enter into the transaction process.
- Compliance. A member will comply with all applicable laws. A member will
not charge a fee or rate for a payday advance that is not authorized by state or
federal law.
- Truthful Advertising. A member will not advertise the payday advance service
in any false, misleading, or deceptive manner, and will promote only the responsible
use of the payday advance service. (Effective 5/31/2007)
- Encourage Consumer Responsibility. A member will implement procedures to
inform consumers of the intended use of the payday advance service. These procedures
will include the placement of a "Customer Notice" on all marketing materials, including
all television, print, radio and on-line advertising, direct mail and in-store promotional
materials. (Effective 5/31/2007).
- Rollovers. Members shall not allow customers to rollover a loan (the extension
of an outstanding advance by payment of only a fee) unless expressly authorized
by state law, but in such cases where authorized the member will limit rollovers
to four (4) or the state limit, whichever is less.
- Right to Rescind. A member will give its customers the right to rescind,
at no cost, a payday advance transaction on or before the close of the following
business day.
- Appropriate Collection Practices. A member must collect past due accounts
in a professional, fair and lawful manner. A member will not use unlawful threats,
intimidation, or harassment to collect accounts. CFSA believes that the collection
limitations contained in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) should guide
a member's practice in this area.
