The Mortgage Bankers Association has some concerns regarding the latest rollout of updates to the mortgage call report.

The Mortgage Bankers Association continues to push back against most state CRA legislation that would apply to nonbank mortgage companies.

The bureau had alleged that the California-based short-term loan company disguised fee payments as “tips” or “donations.”

Court pauses open banking rule; legislation to defund CFPB; NMLS processing fees increase; Republicans introduce resolution to overturn overdraft rule.

All work at the CFPB, including supervision and examination activities, has ceased following an order by the bureau’s new acting director. Several rulemakings are also on pause.

The order, reached following a scheduling conference, also prohibits the administration from deleting data held by the CFPB and from transferring money from the bureau’s reserve funds.

Federal regulation is needed for data privacy, earned wage access products and artificial intelligence, industry experts say. But states may end up carrying the ball on some of these issues plus others.

The stay for now only applies to some lenders. But a pending court ruling in a Kentucky lawsuit against the bureau’s Section 1071 rule could stay compliance with the rule for all covered entities.

Republicans may dislike the CFPB but, with narrow control of Congress, they’ll have to agree on how to rein it in.

The next round of improvements is expected to go live during the third quarter and will include a new FBI identity verification requirement for some users.
