The Bureau periodically releases policy guidance, including compliance bulletins, joint-agency memoranda, and other notices and guidance to inform and advise regulated entities.
The CFPB is issuing this Compliance Bulletin to reiterate that section 913 of EFTA applies to government benefit accounts.
For remittances that occur on or after July 21, 2020, and before January 1, 2021, the Bureau does not intend to cite in an examination or initiate an enforcement action in connection with the disclosure of actual third-party fees and exchange rates against any insured institution that will be newly required to disclose actual third-party fees and exchange rates after the temporary exception expires and instead continues to provide estimated disclosures that would have been allowed under the temporary exception.
