WASHINGTON — The Community Financial Services Association, the trade association that says it represents 60% of the payday lending industry, will unveil a new policy that will require its members to disclose more of their fees before the small value loans are made.

"The Community Financial Services Association's new policy will ensure that customers know, in simple terms, exactly what the fees are before they enter into any transaction," the Association said in an announcement of the upcoming policy change.
