WASHINGTON--The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Monday announced it will delay what America's Credit Unions called a "concerning" part of its revocation of consent rules under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
ACU said it encouraged the delay in meetings with the FCC, including several times last month.
"America’s Credit Unions supported the October 2024 TCPA order expanding the ability of consumers to revoke consent to receive unwanted robocalls and robotexts. However, it opposed a section that would revoke consent for all kinds of future robocalls or robotexts if a consumer opted out of only one kind. For credit unions, this meant that if a member responded STOP to a marketing text, it would also stop all of their other messages, including fraud alerts, low balance alerts, and other time-sensitive alerts," ACU explained.
Monday’s order from the FCC delays the compliance date until April 11, 2026, a one-year delay from the original.
