CFPB to examine non-bank financial institutions
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced earlier this week it is invoking a largely unused legal provision to examine non-bank financial companies that pose risks to consumers.
The CFPB believes utilizing this dormant authority will help protect consumers and level the playing field between banks and non-banks. The CFPB is also seeking public comments on a procedural rule to make this process more transparent.
Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the CFPB has authority to use traditional law enforcement to stop companies from engaging in conduct that pose risk to consumers; this can involve adversarial litigation. However, the law also gives the CFPB authority to conduct supervisory examinations to review the books and records of regulated entities. CFPB examiners typically provide a report to entities with problems that need to be addressed, and responsible institutions typically take prompt corrective action.
Bankers’ Night Out programs wrap up on Wednesday
The OBA Bankers’ Night Out programs wrap up Wednesday with the final stop set in Oklahoma City at the Embassy Suites Downtown/Medical Center.
At previous stops this spring, the programs have been highlighted by short speeches from candidates for various statewide offices. The Oklahoma City event will be no different as we expect to hear from candidates for the state’s attorney general and treasurer’s races, as well as from some of those vying to replace retiring Sen. Jim Inhofe.
Currently slated to attend are:
- Gentner Drummond.
- Clark Jolley.
- Todd Russ.
- Luke Holland.
- Kendra Horn.
- T.W. Shannon.
Bring your coworkers with you so that everyone can be up to speed on the most recent developments affecting their job. In addition to state and federal legislative updates, the program will include a discussion on the recent developments in your industry.
As in the past, the schedule for each of these meetings is:
5:30 p.m. – Drinks
6:15 p.m. – Program
7 p.m. – Dinner
PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. The cost is $50 per person. Click here for a registration form or register online. Also, click here for a sponsorship form.
