AI-assisted source synthesis · not an independent investigation.
Recently, the CFPB has adopted a more lenient examination approach toward banks and other consumer credit institutions.

Meanwhile, the House Financial Services Committee is advancing a bill that would raise the CFPB’s regulatory threshold from $10 million in assets to $30 million and change its funding source. The report noted that the CFPB’s future still depends on congressional consideration, court rulings, and subsequent political changes.
