View Rule

Under section 1024 of the Consumer Financial Protection Act (CFPA), 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 CFPA, for certain markets, the supervision program generally will apply only to "larger participant[s]" of these markets as defined by rule.  The CFPB 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 CFPB is developing a proposed rule to define larger participants in a market for consumer payments.
