NFIB’s annual Fly-In event highlights important issues facing NFIB members and small businesses nationwide. This year, members will connect with lawmakers to discuss the burdensome Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) mandate and the Credit Card Competition Act. You can lend your support and amplify the messages from the meetings by alerting lawmakers of your concerns with your sensitive data and how monopolies in the credit card marketplace continue to drive up swipe fee costs for your business and consumers.

BOI

Last year, small businesses were required to file their personally identifiable data with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) under threat of significant civil and criminal penalties, including up to $10,000 in fines and two years in prison. While an exemption was made for U.S. small businesses, millions had already filed sensitive information, which has yet to be destroyed. NFIB members will urge Congress to permanently repeal this invasive mandate so it cannot be reintroduced in a future administration.

Take Action: Tell lawmakers to fully repeal this unconstitutional mandate and destroy sensitive data.

Credit Card Swipe Fees

Swipe fees have quickly become one of the top overhead costs for small business owners. With just two companies owning more than 80% of the market, credit card swipe fees have grown exponentially, forcing small businesses to either eat the cost or pass it on to consumers. NFIB members will connect with lawmakers about legislation to inject competition into the credit card marketplace, fighting these rapidly increasing fees.

Help support the efforts of NFIB members and small business owners nationwide by taking action on the key issues from this year’s Fly-In.

Take Action: Tell Congress how swipe fees impact your business!
