The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is the nation’s first federal agency with the sole focus of protecting consumers in the financial marketplace. Financial products like mortgages, credit cards, and student loans involve some of the most important financial transactions in people’s lives. In the Dodd-Frank Act, Congress created the Bureau to stand on the side of consumers and ensure they are treated fairly in the consumer financial marketplace. Since we opened our doors, we have been focused on making consumer financial markets work better for the American people, the honest businesses that serve them, and the economy as a whole.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide you with an overview of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s recently released white paper on payday loans and deposit advance products. This is perhaps the largest study to date on the short-term, small-dollar loan market.

Credit reporting plays a critical role in consumers’ financial lives. Credit reports on consumers’ financial history and behavior can determine their eligibility for credit cards, car loans, and home mortgage loans – and they often affect how much consumers pay for their loans.
The report illustrates the ways we are using the tools Congress has provided us to empower consumers and promote a fair, transparent, and competitive marketplace for consumer finance.
Chairman Johnson, Ranking Member Crapo, and members of the Committee: I am honored to be here once again as the nominee to serve as the Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Congress created the Bureau in the wake of the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression. Our mission is to make consumer financial markets work for both consumers and responsible businesses.
