View Rule

Section 1033 of the Consumer Financial Protection Act (CFPA) provides that, subject to rules prescribed by the CFPB, a covered entity (for example, a bank) must make available to consumers, upon request, transaction data and other information concerning a consumer financial product or service that the consumer obtains from the covered entity.  Section 1033 also states that the CFPB must prescribe by rule standards to promote the development and use of standardized formats for information made available to consumers. In November 2020, the CFPB published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) concerning implementation of section 1033, accepting comments until February 2021.  In October 2022, the CFPB released materials in advance of convening a panel under the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA), in conjunction with the Office of Management and Budget and the Small Business Administration’s Chief Counsel for Advocacy. The SBREFA panel was convened in February 2023 and received feedback from representatives of small entities on the impacts the rules the CFPB is considering to implement section 1033 would have on small entities likely to be directly affected by the rulemaking. The panel’s report was completed in March 2023. The CFPB released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on October 19, 2023.
