Most U.S. voters, including those who identify as Republicans, support the Dodd-Frank financial reform law and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, according to a poll conducted in late June.

House lawmakers including Jeb Hensarling are preparing to move on a series of targeted regulatory relief bills in an effort to give Senate Banking Committee Chairman Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, more leeway when he tries to craft a relief measure.

With the ink barely dry on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's final arbitration rule, defenders and critics of the rule were already girding for a congressional fight over its ultimate fate.

Both parties appear interested in a deal on housing finance reform, but tough fights are ahead.

The Senate is set to begin teeing up housing finance reform discussions at a Banking Committee hearing on Thursday, but many are skeptical that Congress will be able to succeed where it has failed in the past.

Federal regulators supported several changes the banking industry has been seeking in an appearance before the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday, acknowledging the need to limit the Volcker Rule and better define systemically important banks.

Housing finance reform discussions are heating up and there's a growing sense that legislation can be enacted sooner rather than later. Here's why.

CFPB Director Richard Cordray took issue with a House Republican report that said he lied about his agency's role in investigating the Wells Fargo phony-accounts scandal.

Senate Banking Committee Chairman Mike Crapo sounded optimistic Thursday about reaching a bipartisan deal for regulatory relief, but a hearing once again emphasized the gulf between what lawmakers are likely to pass and what the industry is seeking.

Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, welcomed Treasury Department recommendations on how to reform financial regulations and expressed optimism that many of the suggestions could become law.

Clearing the bill through the House has value, giving baseline legislative language that the Senate might select in a more modest legislative package.

Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said he wants policymakers to flesh out a potential return of the Glass-Steagall Act, but wasn't sure if it should separate commercial and investment banking.

A GOP House Financial Services Committee report alleges that Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Richard Cordray lied about the bureau's investigation into the Wells Fargo scandal.

The Senate Banking Committee may pass a number of small legislative proposals to help banks and credit unions, but the panel is still figuring out what sort of package can ultimately be agreed upon, top Democrats said Tuesday.

While a House bill expected to be passed this week has little chance in the Senate, some of its individual provisions could be enacted by Congress, including one aimed at banks' systemic threshold.

A bill to overhaul the Dodd-Frank Act could get a vote in the full House as early as June 7.

The Government Accountability Office has agreed to a request by a GOP lawmaker to examine whether Congress can reject regulators' guidance.

President Trump’s budget would reduce funds to the CFPB and eliminate a fund designed to help regulators unwind a failing megabank.

Roughly 58% of 6,000 voters in key states said they would support moving the bureau from a single director to a bipartisan commission, according to an industry-supported poll.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin was pressed for his views on housing finance reform, what a “modernized” version of the Glass-Steagall Act would look like and a two-tiered regulatory system.
