Lawmakers have launched a new initiative aimed at tightening legislation around mobile phone loans, seeking to establish stronger consumer protections and oversight in the rapidly expanding digital credit market.
The regulatory push comes amid heightened scrutiny over smartphone-based lending platforms. Proponents of stricter measures are aiming to curb predatory practices, focusing on concerns such as high interest rates, aggressive debt collection tactics, and the handling of consumer data by digital credit providers.
If enacted, the proposed changes could reshape how fintech companies, telecom operators, and financial institutions offer direct-to-device loans, requiring higher compliance standards and greater transparency across the industry.
