Fintech Nexus Newsletter (May 17, 2024): Supreme Court ruling upholds the constitutionality of the CFPB


Yesterday, in a 7-2 vote, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the funding structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is constitutional.

This is a big deal for financial institutions. Even though the agency has been a thorn in the side of many fintechs and banks, if the Supreme Court found it unconstitutional, it would undo more than a decade of work and could mean chaos for the industry.

Now, we can move on with confidence. Whether or not we like the CFPB, its right to exist is now settled. 

One of the CFPB’s big new initiatives is implementing its rulemaking on open banking, known as Section 1033. 

This will likely lead to a flurry of fintech innovation that will give consumers control over their own data, and that is exciting to me.

Reading the Thursday (May 16) Supreme Court ruling upholding the constitutionality of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s funding mechanisms — and ensuring the agency’s survival — takes one through centuries of history. All the way back to England, Parliament and the Crown.
