The CFPB 1071 regulation has sparked plenty of debate and concern among financial institutions. Since our last 107 1 episode in March, there have been some key developments, including the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the CFPB’s funding structure and the new administration's 60-day pause on the rule. We’ll discuss how community financial institutions are responding—whether with resignation, adaptation, or continued hesitancy—and the practical steps they’re taking to comply.

Up next is an overview of CFPB 1033, the open banking rule, and what it means for community banks as they face new requirements for consumer data access and sharing. Learn how financial institutions can prepare, the role of technology in compliance, and how community banks can maintain their high-touch customer relationships while adapting to these changes. We'll also touch on what deregulation could mean for small business lending in 2025 and how banks can position themselves for growth.
