Center for Responsible Lending

The Center for Responsible Lending (CRL) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advocating for fair lending practices and protecting consumers from predatory financial practices. It aims to ensure that everyone has access to safe and affordable credit, and it works to reform policies that lead to unfair lending. The CRL conducts research, educates the public, and fights for stronger regulations against harmful financial products, such as high-interest payday loans. Their goal is to promote economic justice and financial security for all, particularly for low-income individuals and communities that may face greater financial risks.
