The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is proposing this interpretive rule to help participants in the market for paycheck advance products determine when certain existing requirements under Federal law are triggered. The proposed interpretive rule also addresses certain costs that are in substantial connection with extensions of such credit, such as expedited delivery fees and costs marketed as “tips.”

The CFPB is issuing this interpretive rule to clarify that lenders clarifies that these lenders are “card issuers” for purposes of Regulation Z because the term “credit card” encompasses digital user accounts that consumers use to access Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) credit.
