President Donald Trump signed into law an ICBA-advocated resolution to overturn the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s final rule on overdraft services, finalizing a key policy success for community bankers.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced the withdrawal of certain guidance, interpretive rules, policy statements, and advisory opinions issued since 2011.
Fraud mechanisms and scam typologies are constantly evolving, according to the latest Independent Banker magazine, and community banks must build awareness, knowledge, and prevention skills to successfully thwart them.
