Webinar

Join Sheppard and RSM, together with featured guest speakers Jaclyn Sellers of the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS) and Len Suzio, founder of GeoDataVision, for a timely discussion of the consumer finance regulatory landscape heading into 2026.

As federal priorities continue to evolve and state authorities take on a more visible supervisory and enforcement role, financial institutions are reassessing how developments at the CFPB, the prudential regulators, and across the states may affect compliance expectations. Jaclyn will share perspectives on state supervisory priorities, coordination among state regulators, and emerging areas of focus, while Len will discuss practical implications of Community Reinvestment Act modernization and evolving expectations around assessment areas, geographic analysis, and supervisory review.

The program will cover the CFPB’s supervision and rulemaking outlook, developments related to Section 1071, and fair lending priorities, along with broader trends in multistate coordination and state-level oversight. Designed for legal, compliance, and risk professionals at banks, lenders, and fintech companies, the session will provide practical insight into where regulatory attention is shifting and how institutions can prepare for the year ahead.
