Esvaziar o CFPB pode deixá-lo mais vulnerável a fraudes financeiras. Eis o porquê –

Looks like a government watchdog may have been put on a chain, and some experts say this move could threaten financial protections. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a government agency that oversees consumer financial services and products, was ordered to stop all work-related activities. Newly appointed acting director Russell Vought cut off the agency’s funding and sent an email this weekend telling the staff not to issue any new rules and to cease all investigations.

“With the new administration halting work at the CFPB, American citizens are at greater risk of financial fraud and discrimination,” said Leslie H. Tayne, Esq., Finance and Debt Expert and Founder of Tayne Law Group. “In the long term, reduced oversight at the CFPB may erode trust in financial institutions and threaten economic stability for American consumers.”

Relaxing regulations on banking industries could become risky as the field grows more crowded and competition more fierce. Buy now, pay later apps have grown in popularity, as have peer-to-peer payment services. Social media platform X, which is owned by billionaire and Department of Government Efficiency head, Elon Musk, recently announced it was partnering with Visa to create a payment platform.

• Government watchdog under threat
