Consumer Compliance
In July 2011, much of the Board's rule writing and some of its supervisory authority regarding consumer protection transferred to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which was established under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Financial Protection Act.
The Board retains supervisory authority regarding consumer protection for state member banks with assets of $10 billion or less (other than those that are affiliated with insured banks with assets of more than $10 billion), as well as responsibility for examinations of all state member banks, regardless of asset size, for compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act, Fair Housing Act, and Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act.
