CFPB Compliance Bulletin

The CFPB recently issued a Compliance Bulletin reminding CFPB supervised institutions that, among other things, non-disclosure agreements institutions may have, with third parties, do not alter or limit the CFPB’s access to information under their supervisory authority. Pursuant to Dodd-Frank, the CFPB has the authority to request reports to conduct supervisory duties, from its supervised institutions, and supervised institutions may not use non-disclosure disagreements to transact out of this request.  It should be noted that a failure to provide information required by the CFPB is a violation of federal law.
