Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

The bill bans financial apps that are either domiciled in a jurisdiction controlled by the Chinese Communist Party or have at least a 10% voting interest from an entity in a CCP-controlled jurisdiction.
This applies to all executive branch agencies, with exceptions made for law enforcement and other national security purposes.
The goal is to limit the use of Chinese-owned financial technology within the federal government, out of concerns about data privacy and security.
