Since the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB" or the "Bureau") opened its doors in July 2011âexactly one year after passage of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Dodd-Frank Act")1âthe CFPB has expanded its reach into nearly all facets of the consumer financial services industry. The CFPB has supervisory authority over banks and credit unions with total assets of more than $10 million, as well as non-bank entities in the following markets: mortgages, payday lending and private education lending. Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act conferred upon the CFPB the authority to supervise "larger participants" in other non-bank markets.2
