Rohit Chopra, the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), spoke at DC Fintech Week about a new rule granting consumers rights to their personal financial data. This regulation requires financial institutions to provide individuals access to their data, allowing easier comparison of financial products, such as bank accounts and credit cards. The rule aims to enhance competition among financial services and improve consumer choice, despite some concerns about data security from banking groups.
