Scott Tipton (R-Colo.) supporting a bipartisan bill that would allow banks — with a customer’s consent — to record personal information by swiping a customer’s driver’s license or personal identification card.

Randy Hultgren (R-Ill.), could help expand access to banking services for underbanked populations.
