Overview
The past few years have seen an increased role for U.S. regulators across financial services, with crackdowns against banking partnerships, crypto coin minters, credit card issuers, card network pricing, and a wide variety of lenders ranging from payday loans to buy now, pay later providers. Will a coming wave of regulatory clarification around open banking, data control, and payment networks reinforce the power of incumbents or open the field to new players and services?
