Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection February 13, 2015 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On January 27, 2015, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (Bureau or CFPB) published in the Federal Register a request for information seeking feedback on a draft Safe Student Account Scorecard that offers information to colleges and universities when soliciting agreements from financial institutions to market safe and affordable financial accounts for their students. The Bureau seeks comment from the public, including student and parent consumers, institutions of higher education, and financial institutions. To allow interested persons additional time to consider and submit their responses, the Bureau has determined that an extension of the comment period until March 30, 2015, is appropriate.
