The banking interest group likely has greater financial resources and access to policy makers than the consumer protection group.

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest groups serve individuals or companies with mutual interests and issues. Such teams work with their affiliates to support, maintain or improve the general public. Consumer interest Groups concentrate on consumer problems and interests.

By file claims and conducting investigations, by prosecuting companies and persons violating the law and also by developing rules to keep the market fair, and by informing businesses and consumers of their rights and obligations FTC's Consumer Protection Bureau prevents unfair, disappointing and fraudulent business practices.
