Consumer Financial Protection Bureau: Non-Financial Firms Now in the Crosshairs?

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is a powerful enforcement agency with aggressive leadership. Banks and other financial institutions are rightly focused on understanding the Bureau’s evolving priorities, objective, and strategies, but a key part of the Bureau’s stated enforcement and supervision strategy is expanding its reach into “non-financial” firms that have a significant role in the financial lives of consumers, with an emphasis on the technology industry. This panel discusses where the Bureau is headed, the legal theory underpinning its strategy, and what non-financial firms can do to prepare.
