ABA Newsbytes: Nichols Highlights Regulatory Lawsuits at American Mortgage Conference
Nichols (pictured, center) addressed the opening session of the American Mortgage Conference in Savannah, Georgia, co-sponsored by ABA and the North Carolina Bankers Association. Fellow panelist Bob Broeksmit, the president and CEO of the Mortgage Bankers Association, added that even when a proper regulatory process results in outcomes industry doesn’t like, industry deals with it. “But in these cases where you don’t follow the Administrative Procedure Act, you don’t have a viable result.” Nichols and Broeksmit (pictured, above) also tackled the CFPB and Biden administration campaign against fees in business. “The way banks disclose fees and regulators oversee them is sharply different from airlines, Ticketmaster, etc.,” Nichols said. “Every industrial sector can charge fees for services; we believe banks can as well.” Broeksmit cited efforts by the administration to brand fees for credit reports, title insurance and appraisals as “junk fees,” even though mortgage lenders charge for and disclose these charges under CFPB regulation. Moreover, he added, “We can’t deliver a mortgage to the government entities . . . without an appraisal, credit report or title insurance.” Nichols also emphasized areas where ABA sees agreement with the CFPB, particularly strengthening enforcement of nonbank market participants, keeping “big tech” out of banking and querying core providers over costs, contracts and service levels. “We are not anti-CFPB in any way, shape or form,” Nichols said.

CISA Announces Malware Next-Gen Analysis
Timely, actionable intelligence on malware, such as how it works and what it is designed to do, is crucial to network defenders conducting potential cyber incident response and/or threat hunts. Malware Next-Gen provides advanced and reliable malware analysis on a scalable platform, capable of meeting the increasing demands of future workloads. The integrated system provides CISA analysts and operations community members with multilevel containment capabilities for the automatic analysis of potentially malicious files or uniform resource locators (URLs). “Effective and efficient malware analysis helps security professionals detect and prevent malicious software from enabling adversary access to persistence within an organization. Malware Next-Gen is a significant leap forward in CISA's commitment to enhancing national cybersecurity,” said CISA Executive Assistant Director for Cybersecurity Eric Goldstein. “Our new automated system enables CISA’s cybersecurity threat hunting analysts to better analyze, correlate, enrich data, and share cyber threat insights with partners. It facilitates and supports rapid and effective response to evolving cyber threats, ultimately safeguarding critical systems and infrastructure.” Since November, Malware Next-Gen has been available to .gov and .mil organizations. Nearly 400 registered users have submitted more than 1,600 files resulting in the identification of approximately 200 suspicious or malicious files and URLs, which were quickly shared with partners. While members of the public may submit a malware sample; only authorized, registered users are able to receive analytical results from submissions. All organizations, security researchers and individuals are encouraged to register and submit suspected malware into this new automated system for CISA analysis. For more information, visit: Malware Next-Generation Analysis. www.CISA.govQ: For OFAC purposes, are both rejected and blocked transactions placed in interest-bearing accounts? A: A rejected transaction would not go into an interest-bearing account and would instead go back to the sender. A blocked transaction would need to go into an interest-bearing account. Generally, if a transaction is with a prohibited party (for example, the nation of Iran), it would be a blocked transaction that would go into an interest-bearing account. On the other hand, if it is with a party who is not a blocked person but it is still not a permitted transaction (like a private party in Iran) then it is a rejected transaction and it would go back to the sender. https://ofac.treasury.gov/faqs/36 Learn how to put compliance management solutions from Compliance Alliance to work for your bank, by contacting (888) 353-3933 or [email protected] and ask for our Membership Team.

With four active lawsuits against regulatory agencies, ABA President and CEO Rob Nichols emphasized Monday that filing a lawsuit is “not the first tool in the box. It’s the very last one.” The four lawsuits address Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFPB’s UDAAP manual, the Community Reinvestment Act final rule and the CFPB’s late fees rule.
