CFPB has been hot on the trail of junk fees - is your institution at risk? Join us as we look at supervisory guidance from the regulators and lessons learned on consent orders.

Late last year, CFPB ordered Atlantic Union Bank to pay $6.2 million for illegal overdraft fee harvesting. Are junk fees, which are fees that bring little value to the consumer and are hidden or undisclosed, putting your institution at risk?

In this webinar, we'll examine the types of fees as well as two proposed rules:

  • Large Bank restrictions on OD fees - The proposal would provide two options for very large financial institutions to operate within this exception - calculating their own costs using a "breakeven standard" or relying on a "benchmark fee" set by the CFPB.
  • Fees on Instantly Declined Transactions

What You'll Learn

  • Charging fees without proper consent
  • Misleading customers about terms and costs of OD coverage
  • Authorize positive settle negative
  • Repeated overdraft fees on the same item
  • Transfers from savings
  • Account opening procedures
  • Regulation E and DD
  • Reopening accounts without customers’ consent
