SoFi CEO says Trump's proposed credit card cap would drive people to personal loans, and that's good for SoFi
Read Original Source
Some billionaire CEOs and banking groups balked at President Donald Trump's proposed one-year 10% cap on credit card interest. Not SoFi CEO Anthony Noto. In an X post on Saturday, Noto wrote that the cap could encourage consumers to shift from credit cards to personal loans. "If this is enacted—and that's a big if, though part of me hopes it is—we would likely see a significant contraction in industry credit card lending.
AI Summary
Main Idea: SoFi CEO Anthony Noto said President Donald Trump’s proposed 10% cap on credit card interest could push borrowers toward personal loans, which could help SoFi.
Key Points:
- Noto said credit card lenders would likely cut back lending if they could not charge more than 10%.
- He said consumers would still need credit, creating room for SoFi personal loans to fill the gap.
- Noto added that if the cap happened, lenders would need stricter underwriting and better borrower education.
- The proposal has drawn pushback from banking groups and investors who say it could reduce access to credit and drive people to worse loan options.

A 10% credit card cap could cut card access for many households and push some borrowers toward pricier or riskier loans.
