NOTICE ON REGULATION MATERIALS

Did You Know

In addition to vehicle leasing, ACVL members also offer traditional vehicle retail installment financing. The ACVL has provided leasing information to the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) that has been incorporated into the FRB’s consumer publications and web site materials. Because of the close working relationship between the FRB and the ACVL, there are many similarities between the leasing information found on each group’s web site.
