View Rule

Under section 1024 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the CFPB is authorized to supervise certain nonbank covered persons for compliance with Federal consumer financial laws and for other purposes.  Under section 1024(a)(1)(B) of the Dodd-Frank Act, for certain markets, the supervision program generally will apply only to "larger participant[s]” of these markets as defined by Bureau rulemaking.  The Bureau has defined larger participants in several markets and is considering issuing additional regulations to define further the scope of the CFPB's nonbank supervision program.  In particular, the Bureau expects to conduct a rulemaking to define larger participants in the market for personal loans including markets for consumer installment loans and vehicle title loans for purposes of supervision.  The Bureau is also considering whether rules to require registration of these or other non-depository lenders would facilitate supervision, as has been suggested to the Bureau by both consumer advocates and industry groups.
