Five years ago, Congress passed and President Barack Obama signed the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act, or CARD Act, of 2009.

Please join the Center for American Progress for a discussion about the CARD Act’s accomplishments and steps that policymakers should take to address regulatory gaps that consumers face in the financial system today.
