GreenSky, LLC
On July 12, 2021, the Bureau issued a consent order against GreenSky, LLC (GreenSky), a financial technology company that services and facilitates the origination of consumer loans. The Bureau found that GreenSky engaged in origination activity on thousands of loans to consumers who did not request or authorize them and that the company structured its loan origination and servicing program in a manner that enabled the origination of unauthorized loans. This conduct was unfair in violation of the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010. The Bureau’s order requires GreenSky to refund the accounts or cancel the loans of customers harmed by the conduct up to $9 million, implement enhanced loan authorization and verification procedures to prevent unauthorized loans from being issued in the future, and pay a civil penalty of $2.5 million.
