House File 3680/Senate File 3932: A Threat to Minnesota Credit Consumers

In Minnesota, the state legislature is considering a bill, H.F. 3680/S.F. 3932, that would severely restrict access to credit for millions of underserved Minnesota consumers

  • 32% of consumers have non-prime credit scores – that’s 1.8M Minnesotans.

  • Nearly 30 percent of Minnesotans have limited credit history or poor/fair credit.

  • 20% of Minnesotans had some or lots of difficulty paying for usual household expenses.

  • 17% of Minnesotans have outstanding credit card debt that exceeds 75% of their total credit limit.

These are the consumers who would be most harmed by H.F. 3680/S.F. 3932—Minnesotans who can’t get a loan from a bank and struggle to access credit they need.
