The CFPB in a new report noted that the credit card market is growing fast and the use of new technology has potential to enhance consumers’ financial well-being.
The CFPB recently fined Texas-based Maxitransfers Corp. $500,000 for violations of the Remittance Transfer Rule. This is the bureau’s first enforcement action under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act.
Almost two dozen Democratic state attorneys general have opposed the CFPB’s proposal to encourage industrywide innovation under the cover of regulatory sandboxes. In a comment letter sent to CFPB Director Kathy Kraninger, the AGs said the proposal is “ill-considered.”
