As part of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s ongoing feedback initiative, the American Bankers Association and its transaction banking subsidiary BAFT, joined by the Clearing House and the Consumer Bankers Association, urged the CFPB to make several much-needed rule changes to its remittance rule.
