      <title>Agencies Announce Dollar Thresholds for Applicability of Truth in Lending and Consumer Leasing Rules for Consumer Credit and Lease Transactions</title>

      <pubDate>Mon, 15 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>The Federal Reserve Board and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced updated dollar thresholds for determining which consumer credit and lease transactions fall under Truth in Lending (Regulation Z) and Consumer Leasing (Regulation M) protections in 2026. Based on a 2.1 percent annual increase in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers as of June 1, 2025, the threshold will be set at $73,400 or less for covered transactions. The agencies are required by law to adjust these thresholds annually based on CPI-W changes. Private education loans and loans secured by real property, including mortgages, remain subject to Regulation Z regardless of loan amount.</description>

      <title>Agencies Announce Dollar Thresholds for Smaller Loan Exemption from Appraisal Requirements for Higher-priced Mortgage Loans</title>
      <link>https://www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsroom/agencies-announce-dollar-thresholds-for-smaller-loan-exemption-from-appraisal-requirements-for-higher-priced-mortgage-loans-2025/</link>

      <pubDate>Mon, 15 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Federal Reserve Board, and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency announced that the 2026 threshold for higher-priced mortgage loans subject to special appraisal requirements will increase from $33,500 to $34,200, effective January 1, 2026. This adjustment reflects a 2.1 percent annual increase in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers as of June 1, 2025. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, creditors must obtain written appraisals based on physical interior home visits before making higher-priced mortgage loans, but loans at or below this threshold amount are exempt from these requirements. The threshold is adjusted annually to reflect changes in the CPI-W.</description>

      <title>CFPB’s Supervision Division Releases New 'Humility Pledge'</title>
      <link>https://www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsroom/cfpb-supervision-division-releases-new-humility-pledge/</link>

      <pubDate>Fri, 21 Nov 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's Supervision Division announced significant changes to its examination approach, introducing a &quot;Humility Pledge&quot; that examiners must read to supervised entities before conducting exams. The new policy focuses supervision resources on pressing consumer threats, particularly affecting service members and veterans, while avoiding duplication with state regulators. Key changes include providing advance notice of examinations, limiting information requests to defined exam scopes, reducing examination times from eight weeks, and emphasizing pattern and practice violations with identifiable consumer harm rather than expansive data collection. The Bureau aims to work collaboratively with entities, encouraging self-reporting and resolving issues through supervision rather than enforcement actions. Supervised entities experiencing inconsistencies with these principles are encouraged to contact designated CFPB officials directly.</description>

      <title>CFPB Notifies Court it Cannot Lawfully Draw Funds from the Federal Reserve</title>

      <pubDate>Tue, 11 Nov 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau filed a court notice stating it cannot legally request funds from the Federal Reserve at this time. The Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel determined that the Federal Reserve System currently lacks &quot;combined earnings&quot; from which the Bureau may draw funding as required under the Dodd-Frank Act. This OLC opinion is binding on all Executive Branch agencies including the CFPB. The Bureau expects to have sufficient funds to continue operations through at least December 31, 2025.</description>
