Trump Credit Card Interest Rate Cap: US Bancorp CEO Warns of 'Big Hit' to Clients
US Bancorp CEO Andy Cecere warns that Donald Trump's credit card interest rate cap will cause a 'big hit' to clients by restricting access to credit.
Is your credit card about to get a lot harder to use? According to Reuters, US Bancorp CEO Andy Cecere just issued a stark warning regarding President Donald Trump's proposed cap on credit card interest rates. While it's marketed as a win for consumers, Cecere argues it'll likely backfire, hitting the very people it's supposed to help.
The Massive Impact of a Trump Credit Card Rate Cap
The core of the issue is credit availability. Cecere noted that if a 10% cap or similar restriction is imposed, banks won't be able to price for risk effectively. This means they'll likely stop lending to higher-risk individuals—often those with lower incomes or less-than-perfect credit scores. For these clients, the policy isn't a discount; it's a denial of service.
Why Banks are Bracing for a Credit Crunch
Industry giants like US Bancorp are sounding the alarm because they see this as a fundamental disruption of the financial market. The 10% cap proposal has already sent ripples through the sector, with analysts predicting a significant contraction in consumer spending if credit lines are frozen or reduced. It's a classic case of unintended consequences in economic policy.
