Momentum to overhaul the mortgage finance system had been slipping, and with Democrats divided over the Senate's banking relief bill there's virtually no chance more bipartisan deals can be worked out.

Jamie Dimon, chairman and chief executive of JPMorgan Chase, jumped into the growing debate Wednesday over how consumer data is collected and used, responding to concerns about stolen Facebook data.

The House Financial Services Committee chairman's effort to make changes to a Dodd-Frank revision bill could either give him a defining victory or extend his losing streak.

Independent Community Bankers of America CEO Camden Fine said his group “will not participate in making the perfect the enemy of the good” when it comes to further amending the regulatory relief bill.

A day after the Senate passed regulatory relief, top House Republicans vowed to have a big say in the final version before the bill heads to the White House. That raised fresh questions about how quickly the Dodd-Frank reforms will become law.

With the Senate finishing its work on a regulatory relief package, a showdown in the House still looms while critics of Dodd-Frank weigh whether this is their last shot at unwinding it.

The agency’s acting director has recruited several conservative staff members who will likely prove instrumental in charting its future.

The banking industry braced for big changes with the election of President Trump, but the financial reform law has proven its staying power over the past year.

J. Mark McWatters, chairman of the National Credit Union Administration, is said to be in contention to take over as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The Trump administration has previously signaled that it wants to bring the Office of Financial Research under its control. Now it may have the opportunity to do so.
