(REUTERS) — U.S. consumers shopping for a credit card can see for the first time, starting on Tuesday, how many complaints issuers have received before picking their plastic.
The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau unveiled a complaint database on its web site in one of the agency’s more high-profile moves since it was created under the Dodd-Frank financial reform act.
While the initial release of figures was limited, covering less than a month, it created a ranking among credit card issuers that could leave some uncomfortable. Capital One Financial Corp tallied the most complaints since June 1.
