ABA and all 51 state bankers associations directly challenged the CFPB on a recent request for information regarding fees associated with financial products and services offered by banks and non-bank financial institutions, including overdraft fees, insufficient funds fees, credit card fees, remittance fees, prepaid account fees and mortgage fees, among others.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has said it will invoke a "largely unused" authority under the Dodd-Frank Act to directly examine nonbank financial services providers. "Given the rapid growth of consumer offerings by nonbanks, the CFPB is now utilizing a dormant authority to hold nonbanks to the same standards that banks are held to," said CFPB Director Rohit Chopra.
Banks that retain more of their brokerage activity in-house but outsource functions such as trade execution or clearing to third parties will face bigger hurdles.
The CFPB’s newly revised rules of practice for administrative adjudication are "a step in the wrong direction," expanding the powers of the bureau’s already-powerful director and reducing protections for defendant companies, says a coalition of financial services groups including ABA.
