The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below.
Oct. 4, 2022, WASHINGTON, DC — The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is taking action against Choice Money Transfer (Choice Money) for multiple violations of the Remittance Transfer Rule and the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA).
The CFPB found the company did not accurately disclose important prepayment information to remittance senders, such as money transfer fees, current exchange rates and the date the recipient would receive the funds. The company also had deficient recordkeeping practices that made it difficult for consumers to dispute erroneous transactions and receive a refund of certain fees. The CFPB is ordering Choice Money to pay a $950,000 penalty that will be deposited into the CFPB’s victims relief fund.
Choice Money (doing business as Small World Money Transfer) is a nonbank remittance provider incorporated in New York and headquartered in Englewood Cliffs, N.J. Choice Money is a subsidiary of United Kingdom-based Small World Financial Services Group Limited. Choice Money is licensed in 27 states and the District of Columbia, operates a nationwide network of over 2,000 agents, and transmits money to over 90 countries. Choice Money currently handles approximately 500,000 transfers a month.
