banks have had a chance to lobby their concerns.

In addition to the Basel Endgame, JPMorgan and other banks are also grappling with the fallout from the Zelle investigation. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s probe into the bank’s handling of criminal accounts and scam victims on the digital payments network has put JPMorgan in a precarious position. The threat of litigation against the regulator marks a significant shift in the traditionally cooperative relationship between banks and their overseers.

The Zelle platform, launched in 2017 as a response to the rise of peer-to-peer payment networks like PayPal, has become a focal point for scrutiny from lawmakers and regulators. While the majority of transactions on Zelle are legitimate, a Senate report found that a significant number of disputed transactions were not fully reimbursed by JPMorgan and other major banks on the platform. The discrepancy in reimbursement rates has raised concerns about consumer protection and accountability in the banking industry.

CEO Jamie Dimon, who has steered JPMorgan to unprecedented success and profitability, has emerged as a central figure in the bank’s conflicts with regulators. Dimon’s leadership during the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent industry upheavals has given him the credibility to openly challenge regulatory proposals that he believes would harm consumers. Dimon’s efforts to push back against the Basel Endgame and other regulations have drawn attention to the potential impacts on mortgage rates, credit card fees, and consumer banking services.

Despite the ongoing battles between banks and regulators, the financial industry has notched several victories in its efforts to influence policy. The Federal Reserve’s revised Basel Endgame proposal, which addresses some of the industry’s concerns, reflects the influence of bank lobbying and the threat of potential litigation. The outcome of these regulatory skirmishes will shape the future of banking and consumer finance in the United States, highlighting the complex interplay between industry interests, regulatory oversight, and consumer protection. The outcome of the upcoming elections could have significant implications for the banking industry. If Republican candidate Donald Trump is re-elected, there is a possibility that regulations on the industry may be further weakened or eliminated altogether. On the other hand, under a Kamala Harris administration, the industry could face legal challenges to regulatory measures.

One key example of this pushback from the banking industry is the recent court battle over the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) credit card rule. This rule aimed to limit late fees on credit card transactions to $8 per incident and was scheduled to take effect in May. However, a coalition of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and bank trade groups successfully delayed its implementation by obtaining a freeze on the rule from Judge Mark Pittman of the Northern District of Texas.

This tactic of “venue shopping” has become a common strategy for banks seeking to challenge regulations in courts that are more favorable to their interests. By filing cases in conservative jurisdictions like the Northern District of Texas, which feeds into the industry-friendly 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, banks increase their chances of success in legal challenges against regulators.

According to Columbia Business School associate professor Lori Yue, the financial industry has been particularly active in suing regulators in recent years. Industries with a few dominant players, such as banks, airlines, pharmaceutical companies, and energy firms, tend to have well-funded trade organizations that are more likely to resist regulatory measures.

The current polarized environment, where weakened federal agencies are facing challenges from conservative courts, ultimately benefits the largest corporations in maintaining their competitive advantages. Brian Graham, co-founder of bank consulting firm Klaros, warns that this trend can hinder the adoption of new regulations and impede necessary changes in response to evolving market conditions.

In conclusion, the outcome of the elections will have a significant impact on the banking industry’s regulatory environment. Regardless of who wins, banks are likely to continue their efforts to push back against regulations through legal challenges in courts that are sympathetic to their interests. This ongoing battle between regulators and the banking industry highlights the importance of maintaining a balance between consumer protection and industry profitability.
