MHI Weighs in on CFPB Examination Authority
Provisions (Sec. 1024) with the Dodd-Frank Act provide the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) with new authority to examine non-depository financial institutions.
Specifically, the Act provides the CFPB with authority to conduct regular examinations of lenders offering loans for personal and household as well as “larger participants” in any other market offering consumer financial products.
The provision was designed to regulate elements of what has been referred to as the “shadow banking industry” specifically, title and payday lenders that have never previously been subject to federal supervision. The provision does not subject these institutions to new levels of regulation only new levels of supervision.
The Bureau is also provided new supervision authority over those that are considered “larger participants” in other consumer financial services markets, including those offering residential mortgage lending products.
