Lots of comments in various threads saying CFPB is redundant/duplicative, etc, but supposedly Dodd-Frank relegates some enforcement activity exclusively to CFPB…so which is it? Anyone actually know and not just spewing diarrhea of the mouth (you know who you are, lol)?

Lots of noise, outrage and speculation floating around. Here is some sauce..

https://www.fdic.gov/news/speeches/2025/statement-acting-chairman-travis-hill

“..below is a list of matters I expect the FDIC to focus on in the coming weeks and months.”

“Conduct a wholesale review of regulations, guidance, and manuals to ensure our rules and approach promote a vibrant, growing economy.

Adopt a more open-minded approach to innovation and technology adoption, including (1) a more transparent approach to fintech partnerships and to digital assets and tokenization, and (2) engagement to address growing technology costs for community banks.

Improve the bank merger approval process and replace the 2024 Statement of Policy to ensure that merger transactions that satisfy the Bank Merger Act are approved in a timely way.

Withdraw problematic proposals from the past three years, such as proposals on brokered deposits and corporate governance.

Improve the supervisory process to focus more on core financial risks and less on process, and reevaluate the supervisory appeals process.

Enhance our readiness and preparedness for resolving large financial institutions, incorporating lessons from the far-too-costly failures of 2023, including the need to be much more proactive and nimble and to improve the bidding process.

Pursue adjustments to our capital and liquidity rules to appropriately balance driving economic growth with ensuring safety and soundness and resilience to shocks.

Encourage more de novo activity so there is a healthy pipeline of new entrants in the banking sector.

Work to ensure law-abiding customers have, and do not lose, access to bank accounts and banking services.
Modernize implementation of the Bank Secrecy Act.

Study deposit behavior to develop a more sophisticated understanding of the relative stability of different types of deposits and depositors.

Reevaluate our disclosure practices, and expand transparency in areas that do not impact safety and soundness or financial stability.

Ensure the FDIC remains within our statutory mandates, and stops coloring outside the lines.

Pursue internal efficiencies to ensure we are serving as responsible stewards of the Deposit Insurance Fund.

Reestablish a strong workforce culture, where misconduct is not tolerated and those who engage in misconduct are held accountable.”

Well, it just ‘words,’ like, you also give your word to credit card companies that you’ll pay them back when you use their card. And if you don’t, they charge usurious interest, until you either pay or go bankrupt, then pay them a fraction of what you owed. But, then ‘faith’ in you is diminished. Now, imagine this on a macro scale, but with our government being the borrower, and investors around the world holding the debt. Gonna get interesting, son.

Listen, as long as the FDIC continues to protect up to $250,000 per account, per depositor, they can do whatever they want. I’m still biting my nails to see whether these jabronis ‘abolish’ the very agency that prevents another 1929 style run on the banks.

If you think the FDIC insuring ~1.3% of all deposits is preventing a run on the banks and crashing the economy you’re going to be a bit disappointed. FDIC couldn’t insure a run of any of the largest banks by themselves. Your local community bank on the other hand it would be able to handle.

The FDIC doesn’t prevent bank runs it just insures deposits up to $250K. As it stands reserve requirements are actually 0% any ways. Go to your local branch and try to pull out 25k. You will not get that cash same day.

Oh, you stupidly thought I was concerned about running out of physical currency? (oh no, not enough ‘cash’–what will I do in 2025!) Nope. I’m worried of bank failure, with no recourse, but to get in-line as a creditor. I’m not a noob, you rube.

There are three separate bank regulators in the U.S. You could easily abolish the FDIC without eliminating deposit insurance. Just have one regulator, most likely the Fed, or perhaps the Treasury Department provide insurance. There was never any proposal to eliminate deposit insurance.

JaimeDimon22
JaimeDimon22 (@guest_2002619)
February 11, 2025 14:32

You are correct that there are three separate Federal regulators, but you’re missing the nuance between them. While every bank is FDIC insured, they are not all members of the Federal Reserve System. The differing watchdogs (FDIC, FRB, and OCC) are used for differing institutions because of this.

While one “could” make a unilateral move to one regulator – there would be no practical benefit. Not all banks are chartered the same, therefore they aren’t subject to the same regulations; you’d basically just be creating sub-departments within a larger department to deal with this….no different that the system that currently exists.

February 11, 2025 15:01

Your suggestion of “abolish the FDIC” — That’s where you lose me. You are not a serious person. The Fed is interest rates, inflation, employment. The Treasury is now taken over by Elon’s minions. These fools are destroying the financial system, the full faith and credit of our country. Unless you are a useful idiot or a foreign adversary, stop this delusion. Your shitcoin won’t save you if this goes under.

After trump dismantles the CFPB, they also will be required to put up a “we can rob you blind again” sign. I remember in the 2000’s when Wells Fargo used to rig transactions clearing to trigger overdraft fees. Just to let you know that is called fraud.

Eric 🔗, I didn’t even click into this article until you mentioned me.

The “Contact Us” page has evolved into the go to place where people can post new, extended or refreshed deals. As you know, it is a very valuable one to be following. So, it is a critical one to keep clean with the noise level low.

This article, however, is more of a niche topic so it’s not like an army of us will be subscribed to this one now or later.

Your comment intrigued me to skim the comments. I have to say, the comments are bringing up big picture and long-term issues that are directly or broadly relevant to our hobby. Anything that could happen to the FDIC, the CFPB, the banking system and/or the currency will likely have an impact on our hobby.

I find this FDIC topic interesting:
https://www.fdic.gov/national-rates-and-rate-caps

I think this largely explains why banks offer “bonuses” instead of just higher interest rates…because legally they cannot, as a higher rate would run afoul of their FDIC contracted rate caps.
