The Deputy of Nuevas Ideas and President of the Financial Commission, Dania Gonzalez, informed that the Legislative Assembly enabled a space for citizen consultation to know the opinion about the products and services of the financial system.

A few days ago, Congresswoman Dania González informed that during the week a study would be made to review the minimum and maximum amounts of interest rates for memberships, commissions and interest rates on credit and debit cards.

The President of the Financial Commission explained that "one of the issues that the population points out as a priority is the high interest rate generated by the use of credit cards".

Using her social networks, Congresswoman González said "the inputs that salvadorans give us are fundamental to reform laws that were previously tailored to the corrupt and corruptors... We are reading each of the questions, tell us what you have always wanted to say to the representatives of banks and financial institutions".

The representatives of the Asociación Bancaria Salvadoreña (ABANSA), were summoned for tomorrow, Friday, to be in the Financial Commission and discuss the issues of financial services and products that affect salvadorans.

In the previous weeks, the Financial Commission made some changes in the issue of credit histories of salvadorans so that these would not have any cost.
