Sources: 4. Developments: 2. New consumer protection regulations have been introduced to enhance digital rights and financial security in New York and Bosnia and Herzegovina. In New York City, a ‘click-to-cancel’ rule has been implemented, making it the first U.S. municipality to mandate that canceling a subscription must be as easy as signing up for one. Under the administration of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection will oversee enforcement, with fines reaching up to $525 per violation. The rule requires businesses to provide cancellation processes that mirror sign-up methods and prohibits charging shipping fees for items originally offered for free. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, a draft amendment to the Consumer Credit Law has been proposed to align with European Directive 2023/2225. The draft includes protections such as prohibiting banks from using social media data for creditworthiness assessments and granting consumers the right to request human review of automated decisions. It also introduces provisions for managing overdrafts, including a 30-day notice requirement for reductions and options for repayment in monthly installments. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-03: New York City mandates easy subscription cancellation New York City has launched a “click to cancel” rule, requiring businesses to make subscription cancellations as easy as sign-ups, with fines of up to $525 per violation. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/new-york-city-mandates-easy-subscription-cancellation ### 2026-10-01: New consumer protection rules launched in New York and proposed in Bosnia New regulations in New York mandate easy ‘click-to-cancel’ subscription options, while draft laws in Bosnia and Herzegovina aim to protect digital credit consumers and data privacy. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/new-consumer-protection-rules-launched-in-new-york-and-proposed-in-bosnia --- Cite as: Consumer protection regulation developments.
