Our Story
Minnesotans for Fair Lending (MFL) brings together organizations and their people to organize and advocate for reforming or eradicating predatory lending practices. With unwavering resolve, MFL stands at the forefront of a movement that seeks to bring about lasting change and foster a fairer, more just financial landscape.
Minnesotans for Fair Lending played a pivotal role in achieving a significant milestone for consumer protection in Minnesota: the successful passage of a state-wide interest rate cap in 2023. Through advocacy and strategic collaboration, the coalition effectively put an end to the deceptive and detrimental payday loans that have plagued vulnerable communities for far too long.
This legislative victory not only ensures the financial well-being of numerous individuals but also establishes Minnesotans for Fair Lending as a strong advocate in the ongoing fight against predatory lending practices.
Empowered by this legislative win, the coalition is well-positioned to build upon its success and pursue further legislative achievements aimed at dismantling the exploitative nature of predatory lending. We believe that everyone is entitled to just, equitable and responsible financial products and we will continue to advocate alongside Minnesotans directly impacted to put an end to the predatory practices of lenders.
