Talking About the CFPB

Talking About the CFPB:
Written by Steve Van Beek
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to give a presentation on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.  You may have heard of these guys.  It was a fun presentation with a very good questions from the attendees.
I wanted to share a recent article on the CFPB that I wrote for The Federal Credit Union.  The article takes "A Closer Look at the CFPB" and discusses the following areas:
  • The CFPB's Supervision and Examination Powers;
  • The CFPB's Regulatory Authority;
  • Unfair, Deceptive or Abusive Acts or Practices (UDAAP); and
  • Additional Areas of Focus.
The full article is here and might be useful to share with your colleagues, senior management and your Boards.  Note: Since the article was written, the CFPB has already moved forward on regulating nonbanks.

The CFPB will not be a passive agency and there will be plenty more CFPB issues to discuss in the future.  I'll be talking about the CFPB at future NAFCU Conferences as well, including:
Of course, we'll be talking more than just the CFPB - but you can be assured you or your colleagues will receive the latest on the CFPB and how its actions will impact your credit union.

The regulator now requires credit unions to establish succession planning for critical positions in their organizations. But it’s likely to have even wider effects, such as preserving more independent charters and shaking up the perspectives of those on credit union boards. “Voluntary mergers can be used to create economies of scale to offer more or ...
