For those of us waiting for the release of 1033, it appears we have some insight over what will be included. While the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) plans to release its final open banking rule today, details were provided in advance to American Banker. Here's a summary: The CFPB is releasing its final open banking rule, expanding its scope to include payment apps and other financial products. The rule, named after Section 1033 of Dodd-Frank, requires banks to safely share financial data on various accounts and products, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Zelle, and Venmo. It aims to increase competition, enhance consumer choice, and establish strong data security and privacy standards. Key aspects of the rule include prohibiting data harvesting, allowing some secondary uses of consumer-authorized data, and extending the compliance period for large banks to April 1, 2026. The CFPB emphasizes that consumers have the right to know what data is collected, where it's stored, with whom it's shared, and to revoke access at any time. The rule is expected to encourage the adoption of secure APIs and potentially reshape how consumers use their personal financial data. My thoughts: This final open banking rule will likely significantly impact banks by requiring them to safely share a broader range of financial data, including payment app information, with third parties. While this may increase competition and consumer choice, it also presents challenges for banks in terms of data security, potential liability for third-party breaches, and the need to implement costly oversight measures for Fintech companies accessing consumer data. If banks are to stay ahead of the curve, banks should focus on partnering with those Fintechs that have robust API infrastructures while enhancing their data security measures. Additionally, banks could consider partnering with Fintech companies to create innovative products and services that leverage open banking capabilities, potentially turning this regulatory challenge into a competitive advantage. #banking #1033 #CFPB #bankingindustry #payments #creditunions #fintech #financialistitutions

To the likely surprise of providers of buy now, pay later (BNPL) financing, the #CFPB recently issued an interpretative rule stating that BNPL products are actually "credit cards" under the Truth in Lending Act and BNPL providers are "card issuers" and therefore "creditors" under, and subject to, Regulation Z. Scott Pearson, Bryan Schneider and Eric Knight explain the significance here:

To all #CDFI #CreditUnions Worried About Losing Certification: The CDFI Fund's revised CDFI Certification Application WILL NOT result in the loss of your certification, if you contact us now. CU Strategic Planning was at the forefront of advocacy to ensure the revision had the flexibility for credit unions to maintain CDFI Certification. Since then, CU Strategic Planning has been actively working with over 100 credit unions to ensure their recertification success. This includes creating advisory boards, community development mission statements, providing product design insights and defensible justification of product attributes. Most powerfully, with the depth of that expert consulting (not available through a technology company alone), we took a giant leap forward by merging two leading organizations to create a profound alliance with Callahan & Associates, Inc. the national leader in data analytics for credit unions. CU Strategic Planning is now a Callahan & Associates company leveraging the power of the most trusted data system in the movement. As THE credit union CDFI certification experts, we are and have been for the last 16 years working to ensure every credit union serving people of modest means can attain and retain its CDFI Certification. If you believe you are in jeopardy of losing your certification, come to the experts. No one has certified more credit unions as CDFIs than CU Strategic Planning.
