5 Consumers are empowered to make informed financial choices
because of Wall Street Reform.
The new Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau (CFPB) helps make consumer financial
products clearer and more understandable:
New student loan assessment tools
⢠A âFinancial Aid Shopping Sheetâ that
helps students and their families
evaluate the cost of college
⢠Already adopted by 10 major college
systems representing roughly 1.4
million students, including:
⢠State University of New York
system
⢠University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill
⢠Miami Dade College
New simplified credit card contracts
⢠Highlights rates and eliminates legalese
so borrowers âknow before they oweâ

6 Wall Street Reform helps homebuyers choose a mortgage that is
right for them.
Helping Borrowers Obtain an Affordable Mortgage
⢠The CFPB is making it easier to shop for and close on a
mortgage with proposals that:
⢠Simplify loan estimates and closing documents
⢠Give clear warnings about potentially risky features
such as pre-payment penalties or rising loan
balances
⢠Place new restrictions on closing cost increases so
that consumers do not pay more than the amount
stated on their loan estimate
Holding Mortgage Servicers Accountable
The CFPB is also developing rules that will require servicers
to:
⢠Provide borrowers with clear monthly statements
NEW MORTGAGE MONTHLY STATEMENT
⢠Give borrowers earlier warnings about adjustments in
MODEL FORM interest rates
⢠Inform struggling borrowers about mortgage

7 The CFPB will now supervise consumer financial products and
services that once operated outside of federal oversight.
The CFPB has already begun to oversee the
products and practices of:
CFPB ⢠Payday lenders
⢠Private student lenders
⢠Mortgage originators, brokers, and servicers
The CFPB is also preparing to oversee the largest
players in other markets:
⢠Credit reporting agencies
⢠Debt collection agencies
⢠Other potential areas include:
⢠Debt relief services
⢠Prepaid card industry
⢠Money transfer companies
⢠Check cashing businesses
The CFPB is already bolstering oversight:
⢠Today, the CFPB has more than 230 examiners
stationed in four regional offices and is reviewing the
operations of some nonbank financial companies.

8 Wall Street Reform is empowering shareholders and influencing
companies to change their compensation practices.
Say-on-Pay Votes
Wall Street Reform arms investors with more detailed information about senior
executive compensation packages and then gives them a vote to express their
views.
Even when shareholders approve executive compensation packages, the added
scrutiny of âSay on Payâ proposals has helped change compensation practices.
Clawback Policies
If a publicly-traded company restates its earnings because of serious accounting
errorsâŚ
âŚit must seek repayment of compensation from any past or present
executive officer in excess of what would have been paid under the
restatement.
If a large financial company is put into receivershipâŚ
âŚthe FDIC can take back the last two years of compensation from any
senior executive or director, past or present, who is substantially
responsible for the failure of the firm.

financial systemâŚ
Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC)
⢠Established as a central forum for senior federal officials to flag concerns
and monitor developments in the financial markets
⢠Although the FSOC is required to convene only four times a year, there
have been 19 meetings over the last two years.
⢠Produced first-ever comprehensive report on the health of the financial
system
Office of Financial Research (OFR)
⢠Identifies and monitors emerging risks in the financial system
⢠Fills gaps in financial data and research for the FSOC and the public

⢠Requires the Federal Reserve to conduct annual reviews of the nationâs
largest banks to assess their ability to weather a severe financial storm
⢠Helps restore investor confidence and encourages the return of private
capital into the banking system

11 âŚand creates new tools to wind down large financial firms so
that taxpayers do not bear the burden of the firmsâ mistakes.
Resolution authority gives regulators legal tools for winding down large
financial firms that are similar to the ones they have long used to wind down
traditional banks in order to:
⢠Prevent serious adverse effects on financial stability
⢠Prevent taxpayers from ultimately bearing the losses
Regulators did not have these powers when they were addressing the failures of
Lehman Brothers and AIG during the fall of 2008.
Living wills provide a blueprint for the bankruptcy of large financial
institutions so that these firms and their regulators can make informed
decisions in the event of serious financial distress or failure.
⢠In July 2012, nine of the largest financial firms submitted living wills to the
Federal Reserve and FDIC.
⢠Another 115 firms are expected to submit plans to the agencies over the next
year.

the financial markets.

13 Yet opponents of Wall Street Reform have repeatedly tried to roll
back, delay, and weaken the rules.
Since the legislation passed in July 2010, opponents have:
⢠Proposed more than 50 bills and countless
amendments to gut or slowdown Wall Street
Reform â including full repeal of the legislation.
⢠Mounted legal challenges that have blocked
investor protections, would prevent derivatives
rules from taking effect, and would dismantle the
CFPB and undermine the FSOC as well as other
important aspects of the legislation.
