PFI is an Industry Leader in CFPB Compliance
When it comes to compliance and standards of performance, there are certain industry standards set forth by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) that every third party vendor must adhere to. Third-party vendor standards for CFPB compliance include:
- Developing an effective process for managing risk, ensuring that third-party relationships do not present a risk to the consumer
- Complying with federal consumer law and demonstrating that unfair or abusive practices have not occurred
- Enforcing compliance through contracts and ensuring timely response to consumer protection and high risk exposures
- Complying with federal laws set forth by both the CFPB and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”)
