CFPB amends Wise remittance business consent order, reducing penalty to approximately $45,000
CFPB amended the remittance business consent order with Wise, requiring it to continue compensating affected consumers and reducing the penalty from the originally set $2.025 million to approximately $45,000. The case previously involved Wise misrepresenting ATM fees, insufficiently disclosing exchange rates and other costs, and failing to refund fees for remittances delayed in delivery within the legally mandated time limit; the original order also required it to pay approximately $450,000 to consumers, involving at least 16,000 consumers who were overcharged.
推荐理由:The amended order both preserves consumer relief and adjusts the penalty amount, illustrating CFPB’s specific requirements regarding remittance fee disclosures, refund deadlines, and enforcement actions.
