This article from Next City features CDBA’s position on Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which gives federal regulators the authority to collect and disseminate specific information with regard to small business lending from banks. “CDBA recommends that the CFPB keep Section 1071 simple and streamlined,” CDBA said in a letter to CFPB. “CFPB should only ask for data that is mandated by Congress or critical to fulfillment of its statute. Every data point collected for every customer is a real cost.” A quote from CDBA CEO Jeannine Jacokes is included.
