Delaware Financial Education Alliance Publishes "The Lonely Bill" - 9th in Series of Children's Books |
|
This week the DFEA published its 9th children's book on financial literacy. "The Lonely Bill," written and illustrated by Greg Koseluk, tells the story of a ten-dollar bill given to a boy on his birthday. The bill is placed in the boy's piggy bank where he learns from coins already there what happens to money when it's squandered and how money can grow. As with the other DFEA books, "The Lonely Bill" was created for Delaware's Teach Children to Save Day effort.
The Lonely Bill explains the value of saving in a local bank for the depositor and for the community as a whole. The book was made possible thanks to the generous support of: Discover Bank, Barclays, Capital One, TD Bank, WSFS Bank, Bank of America,
Fulton Bank, M&T Bank, Wells Fargo, Artisans' Bank, Comenity, First Citizens Community Bank, Shore United Bank.

Consistent with expectations that the CFPB under Director Chopra’s leadership would take an expansive view of its statutory authorities, the CFPB has announced its intention to use its authority to prohibit unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices (UDAAPs) to target discriminatory conduct, even where fair lending laws may not apply.
Specifically, the CFPB is directing its examiners to apply the Consumer Financial Protection Act’s unfairness standard to conduct considered to be discriminatory whether or not it is covered by the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (such as in connection with denying access to a checking account). Under the CFPA, an act or practice is “unfair” if (1) it causes or is likely to cause substantial injury to consumers, (2) the injury is not reasonably avoidable by consumers, and (3) the injury is not outweighed by countervailing benefits to consumers or competition.
