I teach a course on Consumer Financial Services in the LLM Program for Banking & Finance. The class is also offered on-line as part of a compliance certification program offered by the school of law and accredited by the ABA. This class presents an overview of the laws relating to traditional and innovative consumer financial products and services, including the impact of the consumer protection provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act on creditors and consumers. The course focuses on federal consumer financial laws governing installment, revolving, and real estate lending, credit and debit cards; and ATM networks, point of sale payment systems, home banking, stored value and prepaid cards; and other deposit and loan products and services. The course examines the design of retail financial products and considers operational issues, the regulatory framework, and consumer protection laws including The Consumer Financial Protection Act, Truth in Lending, Equal Credit Opportunity, Community Reinvestment Acts, and federal and state laws governing fair credit reporting, trade practices, usury, electronic funds transfers, and funds availability.
