"The Bank Policy Institute, the Kentucky Bankers Association and a community bank in Lexington, Kentucky, filed a lawsuit late Tuesday against the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Director Rohit Chopra, challenging the agency's open banking rule.
The 56-page lawsuit, which was filed on the same day that the CFPB released its final rule on open banking, alleges that the bureau exceeded its statutory authority. The lawsuit also claims the CFPB is jeopardizing the safety and soundness of the banking system by limiting banks' discretion to deny third parties access to sensitive financial information."
