On April 25, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB or Bureau) announced that it would begin invoking a provision in Dodd-Frank, previously used only infrequently, to conduct supervisory examinations over a greater number of nonbank financial companies that may “pose risks to consumers.”
Under Dodd-Frank, the CFPB has authority to examine three categories of nonbank entities:
- Nonbank entities that offer or originate mortgages, private student loans, and payday loans, regardless of the nonbank entity’s size.
- Larger nonbank participants, designated under the CFPB’s various “larger participant” rules, in other markets for consumer financial products and services — e.g., consumer reporting, debt collection, student loan servicing, international remittances, and auto finance.
- Nonbanks engaging, or have engaged, in “conduct that poses risks to consumers.”

Ballard Spahr Webinar - CFPB Director Rohit Chopra: Do His Words Speak Louder Than His Actions?
May 11th - 12 noon
| |
Director Chopra has been in office for about six months and has given many speeches, issued several RFIs, and otherwise has shared his views on a wide variety of consumer finance issues. However, much to the surprise of those in the financial services industry, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has only filed a handful of enforcement actions and consent orders, and done very little of a public nature on the regulatory front except for activity related to section 1071 of Dodd-Frank (small business loan).
In this webcast, we will first explore the public enforcement and regulatory actions during Director Chopra’s first six months in office. We will then discuss his public speeches, RFIs, and other activity during this time period. Throughout the webinar, we will provide our views on how companies should respond to Director Chopra’s “words.” We will also share our views about topics, like arbitration, that have not been given any public attention (neither words nor deeds) by Director Chopra.
