Impactful Policy Frameworks
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Section 1033 (2023) Proposed Rule on Personal Financial Data Rights
The CFPB proposed a new rule in October 2023 under Section 1033 of the Dodd-Frank Act, aiming to give consumers more control over their financial data by requiring financial institutions to share data with authorized third parties upon consumer request.
This policy will enable Frontier Credit Union members to more easily share their financial data with other apps and services, fostering competition and potentially driving demand for more integrated digital solutions.
National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Rule on Derivatives (2023)
In March 2023, the NCUA finalized amendments to its derivatives rule, allowing federal credit unions to use derivatives for hedging interest rate risk more broadly, subject to certain conditions and approvals.
This rule provides Frontier Credit Union with greater flexibility in managing interest rate risk on its balance sheet, potentially improving financial stability and enabling more competitive loan and deposit rates for members.
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act (CIRCIA) (2022)
CIRCIA, enacted in March 2022, requires critical infrastructure entities, including financial institutions, to report significant cyber incidents and ransomware payments to CISA within specified timeframes.
This act increases the regulatory burden on Frontier Credit Union for cybersecurity incident reporting, necessitating robust detection and response capabilities to ensure compliance and protect member data.
