Statement on Supervisory and Enforcement Practices Regarding the Remittance Rule in Light of the COVID-19 Pandemic (Apr. 10, 2020)

Withdrawn by 90 Fed. Reg. 20,084 (May 12, 2025).  See NCLC, Continued Vitality of 67 Withdrawn CFPB Guidance Documents (May 13, 2025) (updated May 27, 2025).

The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) recognizes the serious impact that the COVID-19 pandemic is having on consumers and the operations of many entities. The Bureau further recognizes that, for insured institutions providing remittance transfers for their customers, the expiration of the statutory temporary exception to the Remittance Rule’s requirement to disclose the exact costs of remittance transfers will deepen the potential impact on those customers.
