UDAAP first in CFPB symposia series

CFPBFollowing comments Wednesday from CFPB Director Kathy Kraninger, the bureau has officially announced its symposia series "exploring consumer protections in today's dynamic financial services marketplace." The first symposium will be focused on clarifying "abusive" under unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices (UDAAP).

NAFCU has long advocated for the bureau to issue specific guidance on prohibited practices so financial institutions have more clarity on this issue. Last year, NAFCU again asked the bureau to provide guidance to clarify the UDAAP standard.

Dates and panelists for the UDAAP symposium and others in the series have yet to be announced. Other topics to be covered include:

  • behavioral law and economics;
  • small business loan data collection;
  • disparate impact and the Equal Credit Opportunity act;
  • cost-benefit analysis; and
  • consumer authorized financial data sharing.

NAFCU will continue to work with the bureau to address credit union priorities.

Unfortunately, 40 percent of Americans would sell something or borrow money to cover even a $400 emergency expense. It can be difficult to put money away for emergencies. However, without some savings cushion, unexpected expenses can derail people from achieving their financial goals. Through the “Start Small, Save Up” initiative recently announced by Director Kraninger, the CFPB offers tips, tools, and information to help consumers build a basic savings cushion, as a foundation for securing their financial futures. The mission of the CFPB includes educating and empowering consumers to make better informed financial decisions. By law, the Bureau is charged with developing and implementing initiatives to support savings in a variety of ways.  Key Takeaways: Learn more about the CFPB's "Start Small, Save Up" initiative Discuss strategies and ideas for educating and empowering your credit union members to start saving Register Now Registration is free, but you must register to attend.

It has steady growth, low unemployment, and little inflation. Yet, nearly 4 out of every 10 Americans said they wouldn’t be able to scrape together the cash to meet a $400 emergency expense. What are the economic forces at work contributing to this anomaly? And how can your credit union help? Research has demonstrated that consumers would prefer to obtain short-term credit from YOU, their local credit union, and regulatory agencies such as the CFPB and NCUA as well as numerous consumer advocacy organizations are encouraging credit unions to provide responsible small-dollar loans to their members. Historically, the two biggest impediments for credit unions to offer affordable short-term loans were complex regulatory requirements and operational obstacles: time, cost, and technology. In this webinar, Christopher Leonard, CEO of Velocity Solutions, explains that these obstacles are no longer in your way! By leveraging digital, turnkey loan platforms, credit unions can provide much-needed liquidity to their members—responsibly, affordably, and compliantly. Christopher will discuss what to look for in partnering with a FinTech provider, and what types of features your members want from a small-dollar loan product. Key Takeaways:  A startling percentage of American consumers are cash poor – why?  Regulatory agencies are looking to community financial institutions to provide responsible short-term credit to these consumers. The impediments that have prevented credit unions from providing small-dollar loans to their members in the past are no longer obstacles!
