View Rule

Millions of consumers have adjustable-rate mortgages, credit cards, student loans, reverse mortgages, home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), or other consumer products that are tied to the LIBOR index, which the UK Financial Conduct Authority has stated that it cannot guarantee publishing beyond June 2023. The Bureau’s LIBOR rulemaking is designed to facilitate compliance by open-end and closed-end creditors and to lessen the financial impact to consumers by providing examples of replacement indices that meet Regulation Z requirements. For creditors for HELOCs (including reverse mortgages) and card issuers for credit card accounts, the rule would facilitate the transition of existing accounts to an alternative index, beginning around April 2022, well in advance of LIBOR’s anticipated expiration in June 2023. The rule also would address change-in-terms notice provisions for HELOCs and credit card accounts and how they apply to the transition away from LIBOR, to ensure that consumers are informed of the replacement index and any adjusted margin. To facilitate compliance by card issuers, the rule would address how the rate re-evaluation provisions applicable to credit card accounts apply following the transition from LIBOR to a replacement index. The Bureau issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in June 2020 and expects to issue a final rule in January 2022.
