Compliance Blog highlights CFPB's one-click away rule, supervisory activities

complianceNAFCU Regulatory Compliance Counsel David Park breaks down the CFPB's one-click away rule, which was highlighted in the bureau's 19th edition of its supervisory activities highlights, in a new post on the Compliance Blog. The report – released by the bureau last month – provides insights into auto loan origination, credit card account management, debt collection, furnishing, and mortgage origination.

The report also provides a summary of the bureau's recent rules and guidance – including the small entity compliance guide, memorandum of understanding with the FTC, and amendments to the annual privacy notice requirement under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

In the blog, Park details one-click away rule requirement violations, which include:

  • using a hyperlink that was not labeled to refer to the triggered disclosures and then requiring the consumer to go through the entire credit card application before providing the triggered disclosures; and
  • using a series of hyperlinks and not permitting the consumer to view the triggered disclosures until completing a credit card application.

Park also directs those who wish to obtain more guidance on credit union advertising rules to the association's new member-only NAFCU Credit Union Compliance Advertising Guide.
