While most regulations provide detailed requirements, The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act says only that financial institutions cannot "engage in any unfair, deceptive or abusive act or practice." UDAAP impacts every facet of your institution's operations. Is your UDAAP compliance program ready for your next examiner visit?

The CFPB Examination Manual discusses the importance of the Consumer Complaint process within the UDAAP (Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts or Practices) section. As we are all aware, UDAAPs can cause significant financial injury to consumers, erode consumer confidence, and undermine the financial marketplace. Bottom line...we all want to stay aware from any UDAAP issues!
