CFPB expands oversight of Apple Pay, other digital payments services

CFPB expands oversight of Apple Pay, other digital payments services
SHARE

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) recently announced a finalized rule that expands its oversight to include nonbank firms that offer financial services such as payments and wallet apps. This new rule will require tech giants and payments firms that handle at least 50 million transactions annually to adhere to the same laws and regulations as traditional banks and credit unions.

According to the CFPB, seven nonbank firms currently qualify for this increased scrutiny. This includes popular payment services from companies like Apple, Google, Amazon, PayPal, Block, and peer-to-peer services like Venmo and Zelle. The goal of this oversight is to ensure consumer protection, prevent fraud, and uphold legal compliance within the rapidly growing digital payments industry.

The CFPB’s decision to extend its oversight to tech and fintech companies comes as a response to the increasing use of payment apps as a primary financial tool for many Americans. These apps have become essential for everyday transactions, with more than 13 billion consumer payments processed annually. The CFPB aims to protect consumer privacy, prevent fraud, and address the potential risks associated with using these digital payment services.

The new rule will subject these nonbank firms to proactive examinations to ensure their compliance with financial regulations. This includes the authority to demand records and interview employees to verify legal adherence. The threshold for companies subject to this oversight has been raised to 50 million transactions annually, limiting the number of firms impacted by the rule.

The banking industry has expressed support for the CFPB’s actions, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that nonbank market participants comply with consumer protection obligations. The rule is set to take effect 30 days after its publication in the Federal Register, although it remains to be seen how the incoming administration will approach this expanded oversight of tech companies.
