The American Banker is reporting that credit unions have lined up in opposition to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) proposal to rein in arbitration clause, despite credit unions historical reluctance to use them.

Credit union officials are worried that the CFPB proposal may go too far and restrict credit unions' ability to use arbitration clauses.
