Our compliance team is keeping a constant eye on changes in regulations that could affect our preferred partners. Here’s our current outlook.
To ensure regulatory compliance, all retailers, lending organizations, banks, and other partners offering credit insurance should be aware of the core messaging and rules of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Our experience with the CFPB—the agency designated to examine and uphold consumer-focused financial regulations—has helped us pinpoint key guidelines that can keep organizations compliant and thriving.
2017 Update
For now, no news is good news. With the changing of the guard atop the U.S. government, the CFPB has yet to make any dramatic rulings or changes in the 2017 calendar year. As we move into the 2nd Quarter, we’re staying vigilant, and are ready to provide recommendations to ensure compliance should changes arise. But since things are currently on the quiet side, we’ll take this opportunity to make sure you’ve got a handle on Fortegra’s compliance services.
Additional Partner Information
We know selling insurance comes with its own set of hurdles to ensure everything is done ‘up to code.’ That’s why we provide a handful of important partner resources to keep them from spinning in the wind.
Monthly Newsletters & Webinar Updates
Each month our compliance team compiles a quick rundown of all the changes on the national, state and local levels. It’s a great way for our partners, especially retailers that span multiple states, to make sure they’re staying on top of things. And when bigger changes go down, we hold compliance Webinar to walk partners through the changes and how those changes might affect day-to-day business.
