There’s another reason, too: Congress has emphasized that we are to enforce Federal consumer financial law consistently …. That … will require the sustained collaboration of State and Federal regulators, including both the consumer bureau and State attorneys general.” Richard Cordray Director, CFPB A Level Playing Field for Consumer Financial Products and Services March 8, 2012 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) “My vision for the Consumer Bureau is that it will work to make consumer financial markets operate fairly … to protect consumers, support honest businesses, and play a crucial role in helping to safeguard the economy. First, the Consumer Bureau will benefit consumers by clarifying the prices and risks of consumer products and services. Second, the Consumer Bureau will benefit honest business by leveling the playing field and ensuring that financial institutions play by the same set of rules. Finally, the Bureau's efforts can help strengthen our nation’s economy.” Richard Cordray Director, CFPB Subcommittee on TARP, Financial Services and Bailouts of Public and Private Programs, U.S. House of Representatives January 24, 2012 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) “By requiring the CFPB to examine nonbanks, the DoddFrank Act – the law that established the CFPB – sought to ensure that consumers get the benefit of federal consumer financial laws on a consistent basis. This consistent supervisory coverage will help level the playing field for all industry participants to create a fairer marketplace for consumers and the responsible businesses that serve them.” Richard Cordray Director, CFPB The Brookings Institution January 5, 2012 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) So is the ultimate goal to level the playing field between small and large institutions? There is obviously tension between the big banks and the small banks on that question. “Well, in most of the consumer markets, you take the largest institutions, and you're talking about 80, 85, 90% market (Continued) share. I just think that it makes sense for us to consider carefully what burdens we're imposing on different types of institutions and be a little bit nuanced about that.” Richard Cordray Director, CFPB Trying to Stay Above the Politics: A Conversation with Richard Cordray American Banker March 23, 2012 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) CFPB Authority To Regulate Prices In response to a question following his prepared remarks at the (Continued) Community Bankers Association Annual Meeting on March 21, 2012 CFPB Director Richard Cordray responded that the CFPB lacked both usury authority and the ability to regulate fees. Instead, he noted that the bureau’s focus will be on ensuring consumers understand the fees that they will incur.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Will the CFPB give any guidance specifically on what UDAAP means? “We have given some exam guidance around these concepts, and I think maybe we'll have more to say over time. I don't anticipate us writing a rule around UDAAP.” So people will mostly have to look at your actions as the model for how this new term is defined? (Continued) “I think that's probably right. The law is, I think, pretty welldefined out there, and it was pretty significantly defined by Congress as well.” Richard Cordray Director, CFPB Trying to Stay Above the Politics: A Conversation with Richard Cordray American Banker March 23, 2012 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Current Initiatives: • Confidential Treatment of Privileged Information • Remittances - Insured depository financial institutions temporarily exempt until 7/21/15 • TILA-RESPA Disclosure/Settlement Disclosure Forms - Model Disclosure Form - Cost of funds disclosure • QM (Ability to ability-to-repay) a mortgage loan • Overdraft Protection Programs - Model disclosure form Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Current Initiatives (Continued): • Mortgage Servicers • Student Loans • Streamlining Inherited Regulations • Collection of Credit Card, Mortgage, Student Loan, Bank Account/Service, Vehicle, and Consumer Loan Data • Arbitration Clauses • Vendor Compliance • Disparate Impact • Prepaid Cards Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Consumer Advisory Council • The CFPB is setting up a consumer advisory council (CAC), that will consist of approximately 20 individuals with a background in consumer protection, financial services, consumer products and services, fair lending, civil rights, and community development.

No one wants regulators to allow unsafe practices, but no one wants regulators to stifle a potential economic recovery by applying regulatory standards in ways that needlessly inhibit bank lending.” Spencer Bachus (R-Ala) Chairman House Financial Services Committee The Future “You can whine and moan endlessly about all the new enforcement and all the new rules. Or as a leader you can be inspired and say, Look, it is what it is. I’m going to do my fighting and battles behind the scenes with the people that can affect things, but as it related to me, my company and employees we’re going to figure out the rules and do those rules.” Richard Davis CEO U.S. Bancorp Best Practices in Retail Services Symposium March 11, 2012 The Future “In a city where special-interest pleading and fingerpointing has been developed to a high art form, there are no bigger whiners than community banks. When they’re not complaining about excessive regulation, misguided monetary policy and inflated deposit insurance premiums, they’re railing against unfair competition from big banks, savings and loans, credit unions, credit card companies, finance companies and other unregulated lenders. Considering this mountain of injustice that has been heaped upon them, it’s a wonder these bankers are able to get out of bed in the morning, let alone show up smiling at the weekly Rotary luncheon.” Steven Pearlstein Think True Value – but for Banks The Washington Post April 14, 2012 The Future “We need to meet these regulatory demands properly while ensuring that our clients are not adversely affected …. We are totally focused on what is in front of us. It is a new world, and we are going to adjust to it very quickly – whether or not we like it or think it is all needed.” Jamie Dimon Chairman and CEO JPMorgan Chase The Future “Consumer dissatisfaction and overall frustration with the economy are more intense than at any time in modern history, but it presents our industry with a chance to reinvent itself.” Pierre Habis Senior Executive Vice President and Head of Branch Banking Union Bank of California The Future “The well-managed, well-capitalized institutions have significant opportunities to grow their franchises in the country today.” Dan Schatt General Manager of Financial Innovations PayPal The Future “… the credit unions that will survive and thrive in the years ahead will be those that take the time to think about how they will respond … those who sit back and wait, then react, will find their part more difficult to navigate and their choices more limited.” Dr. Michael Hudson Credit Union Strategist The Future “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” Roman Philosopher Seneca Interchange Revenues The Future “I actually reached out to 500 friends and assumed maybe 200 would respond and shift their business to a credit union” Kristen Christiansan on Bank Transfer Day Movement New Credit Union Checking Accounts CULookup.com 110% growth in visitors over 2010 Since Bank Transfer Day, traffic has been 30% higher CULookup.com Unique Visitors 30000 25000 20000 Bank Transfer Day Movement 15000 10000 5000 0 CULookup.com Only Linear (CULookup.com Only) The Future “Bank Fees Pay Off For Credit Unions” to "We're going to be playing bank fee Whack-a-Mole for the foreseeable future," Fred R.
