Is a New Operation Choke Point on the Horizon?

The online lending industry is no stranger to Operation Choke Point, a U.S. Department of Justice initiative that pressured the financial industry to cut off legitimately licensed businesses from use of the nation’s banking services and networks.

Hear from a panel of experts as they discuss the components of Operation Choke Point and steps that companies can take to safeguard against regulators using their supervisory powers to once again impact long standing banking relationships.
