Literally, I have heard from banks that they are scared about having an #SPCP, or even not calling in existing loans. For opponents of "regulatory overreach," the #CFPB's radical #ECOA final rule is a prime example of a regulator telling banks how to lend. consumerfed.org/press_releas…

So, OpenAI is buying a personal financial management tool (#pfm). Wouldn't it be nice if there were a rule giving people personal #financial data rights? Like a #cfpb #Section1033 rule? pymnts.com/acquisitions/2026…

To the @WhiteHouse claim that the #CFPB costs consumers billions... the cost of regulation is: your car comes with brakes, those brakes meet safety standards, someone inspects them, and car companies pay a price when they manufacture dangerous vehicles. @consumerfed

If the White House's critique is that the #CFPB costs consumers money, why has it reversed $19 billion in CFPB-granted relief for consumers this year?

The #Bitsika card perfectly illustrates how some #fintechs and their partner banks see KYC evasion as a product differentiator. They add risk across the #payments ecosystem. bitsika.com/

This is such an important connection.. linking BSA and consumer protection feels like a real path to stopping harm and getting victims actual redress. Great work pushing this forward.

I have a new paper out today calling for greater linkage b/w BSA work against #IllicitFinance & #ConsumerProtection enforcement efforts to fight #scams. This is an opportunity for victims to receive redress. Do you know about funnel accounts? Learn more by reading my paper!
New paper from CFA examines the dramatic rise in #fraud & #scams and calls for closer coordination between consumer protection and the policing of illicit finance. By @AdamRust9

Notwithstanding that a #ratecap cannot occur without congressional action, limiting such a change to one year effectively requires deferred-interest cards for everyone. The main takeaway should be that financial services expenses need to be a part of the #affordability agenda.

Notwithstanding the Qs of if a #creditcard cap can be done by fiat (it can't), and if 10% is the right price...I hope the idea that costs for financial services are as much a part of the #affordability agenda as the price of eggs, rent, and transportation.

I'm kind of let down by Wall Street penalizing #creditcard banks today; usually, the wisdom of crowds leads to a more realistic analysis. Suffice to say, Congressional action, rulemaking, and court injunctions won't be done by next Tuesday.

If you understand kelp forests, you know what you need to know on FCRA, EFTA, and at least 16 other #consumerprotection laws. Right? americanbanker.com/news/trum…
