The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is a U.S. Government agency established
in 2011 in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis to regulate mortgages, credit cards,
and other consumer financial products and services. Its mission is to make the markets for
these products and services work better for both responsible consumers and businesses.
CFPB focuses on:
– Consumer Education: CFPB makes available financial information regarding a
variety of topics such as buying a home, paying for college, and credit
reporting primarily through its website in the form of brochures, frequently
asked questions, and interactive tools.
– Financial Regulation and Enforcement: CFPB regulates the consumer financial
marketplace through rulemaking, supervision, and enforcement activities.
Consumers can submit complaints about a financial product or service that
they are having trouble with, and CFPB will help get the consumer a response.
