The more you know about the #CFPB, the more you see how many ways it helps people. The CFPB offers free placemats, typically to senior centers, with tips to avoid scams. Topics include Medicare ID #fraud, Social Security & charity #scams. pueblo.gpo.gov/CFPBPubs/CFPB…

Unspent customer funds held by Starbucks exceed deposits held by 3,900 banks. They want to do bank-like things (hold deposits, facilitate payments) but avoid regulation.

An example of how #urbanplanners can design streets that endanger #bicyclists. Ironically, the purple sign touts #MorgantownWV as a #bicycle-friendly #city. #Planning #streetscape.

We are locking in a regulatory blind spot on #paymentapps. #Fraud on payment apps is escalating. With this vote, Congress handcuffs policymakers from solving real problems affecting everyone. Our country will regret this vote on #SJ28. bit.ly/4j3oODN

Imagine a grocery store where a jar of pickles is $5, but if you break the jar by accident while shopping, it's a $35 fee. That's how #bigbanks price #overdraft. And some set up traps to encourage spills. #DefendCFPB #HandsOffCFPB #CAW2025

The #CFPB’s mission to #ProtectConsumers is worth fighting for! We’re on Capitol Hill this week for 2025 Consumer Advocacy Week. Our message is simple: #HandsOffCFPB, keep the $5 cap on big bank overdraft fees, and keep medical debt off credit reports! #CAW2025

We’re taking a virtual trip to the Capitol this week to tell Congress to protect people from abusive #overdraft fees, allow #MedicalDebt to drop from credit reports, and defend the #CFPB’s critical work to #ProtectConsumers. #HandsOffCFPB #CAW2025

How #creditcard banks are scamming you. youtube.com/watch?v=hSnVtAIs… @MorePerfectUS @ConsumerFed

Today in the @USHouseFSC we heard #smallbanks are burdened by compliance with #AML, #BSA, and #KYC requirements. Let's remember how a small bank was found to be approving accounts opened by devices in Pakistan, UAE, and Russia. Lightening up = crime.

At first, this influencer's video about #BNPL sounds like bad advice to overspend. By the end, it shows the loophole. Builds GenZ credibility. It calls out #BigData, lack of protections, why not reporting repayments is bad & loan stacking concerns. Nice! youtu.be/DM6VZvnFpK8
