Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) transferred rulemaking authority for a number of consumer financial protection laws from seven Federal agencies to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) as of July 21, 2011. The Bureau is in the process of republishing the regulations implementing those laws with technical and conforming changes to reflect the transfer of authority and certain other changes made by the Dodd-Frank Act. In light of the transfer of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System's (Board's) rulemaking authority for the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) to the Bureau, the Bureau is publishing for public comment an interim final rule establishing a new Regulation Z (Truth in Lending). This interim final ru...

When the budget is tight and you don't have the money to pay cash for something, what are your options? For some people, the obvious answer might be, "Don't buy it -- just do without it." But what if the item in question is something you or your family really need? Then what do you do? Here's a list of options to consider: Borrow the item you need -- especially if it's something you don't need very often. Just remember, borrowed things need to be returned in good condition.

The dominant model of regulation in the United States for consumer credit, insurance, and investment products is disclosure and unfettered choice. As these products have become more complex, consumers' inability to understand them has become increasingly apparent, and the consequences of this inability more dire. In response, policymakers have embraced financial-literacy education as a necessary corollary to the disclosure model of regulation. This education is widely believed to turn consumers into "responsible" and "empowered" market players, motivated and competent to make financial decisions that increase their own welfare. The vision created is of educated consumers handling their own credit, insurance, and retirement planning matters by confidently navigating the bountiful unrestr...

Now, the credit card is ubiquitous. This means that people would rather have money removed from their bank accounts at the time of a purchase than enjoy the float until the end of the statement period plus the 25-day grace period. Credit card operations were pretty crude at the start. Banks sent out unsolicited cards that were often stolen and also misused by the recipients. Some banks tried to solve the identity problem by putting your picture on the card. Another solution to this problem is the one utilized by a Canadian ticket agent, involving an interesting use of psychology. Credit cards have evolved into the basis for the entire Internet commerce network. This, in turn, has made identity theft more important than ever. The finance industry will have to solve this problem just as i...
The payment card industry is a typical "two-sided market" where two groups of agents (i.e. merchants and cardholders) interact with each other via a common network platform (i.e. a card network) and the value of participating in the network for agents in one group depends on the number of participants from the other group. The positive network externalities across the two sides create the "chicken-and-egg problem": without sufficient merchants accepting a particular card network, few consumers are willing to apply for the card; without sufficient cardholders, few merchants are willing to accept the card. While economists have addressed the issue from social welfare perspective, we focus on business strategy implications. Modeling network externalities in dynamic systems, we show that ne...

Using a credit card reminds me of gambling in Las Vegas. When you walk through the casinos, people are shrieking as their slot machines pay off or they get a lucky roll at the craps table. But don't be fooled. In this crowd there are a lot more losers than winners.
