Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The CFPB has rulemaking, supervision, and enforcement authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws. In recent years, the CFPB focused on certain types of fees commonly charged by financial institutions, consumer complaints, the use of artificial intelligence (“AI”), paycheck advance products, data privacy, digital payment applications, and open banking. However, the CFPB recently communicated a desire to reduce regulatory burdens for banks in a variety of ways, such as by limiting supervisory exams and focusing on actual consumer complaints. The future of the CFPB is uncertain due to several legal challenges to its structure and funding.
The political climate of the past several years has led to rapid changes to the regulatory environment affecting the banking industry. Opposing federal and state regulatory priorities and legislation have also significantly impacted the industry. For example, although the federal banking regulators have eased their focus on consumer protection matters, many states (including some within the Bank’s footprint) are expanding the scope of consumer and other protections and increasing the intensity of their enforcement efforts. Further, some states are shifting their focus towards certain consumer protection matters that are no longer being prioritized by federal regulators, such as fees, loan servicing, discriminatory practices, data privacy, cybersecurity, and AI.
Risks and exposures related to cybersecurity attacks, including litigation and enforcement risks, are expected to be elevated for the foreseeable future due to the rapidly evolving nature and sophistication of technology. These risks have increased for many reasons, including widespread use of internet banking, mobile banking, AI, and other technology-based products and services.
In the normal course of its business, the Bank collects, processes and retains sensitive and confidential customer and consumer information. Despite the security measures we have in place, our facilities and systems may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks, security breaches, acts of vandalism, computer viruses, misplaced or lost data, programming or human errors, attacks enhanced or facilitated by AI, and other similar events.
The Company’s business may be materially affected by the emergence of disruptive new technologies or approaches enabled by the rapid pace of innovation unfolding in the AI space.
The safe and responsible integration of AI technology as it rapidly evolves presents emerging ethical and legal challenges, and the use of such technologies may result in diminished brand trust and reputational harm. As with many innovations, AI presents risks and challenges that could significantly disrupt our business model, such as risks related to implementation of AI technologies, including operational risks stemming from system failures or disruptions of business processes as well as increased costs associated with acquiring, deploying, and maintaining AI technologies. In addition, the use of AI by bad actors presents increasingly complex and sophisticated security threats to our data and the confidential data of our customers and employees. These potential security threats require additional efforts and investments to maintain network security and the security of the data we possess.
The regulatory landscape surrounding AI technologies is also evolving, and the ways in which these technologies will be regulated by federal, state, and local governments, self-regulatory bodies, or other regulatory authorities remains uncertain and may be inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Some states within our market areas have enacted or proposed legislation and policies regulating AI with a focus on consumer rights, bias, transparency and misuse. The president has responded by issuing an executive order seeking to centralize AI policies and to identify and challenge inconsistent state laws. Such AI regulations may result in operational costs to modify, maintain, or align our business practices with the rapidly evolving, potentially unclear, or conflicting regulatory regimes, or constrain our ability to develop, deploy, or maintain these technologies.
We use models and strategies to forecast losses, project revenue, and measure and assess capital requirements for various credit, market, operational and strategic risks. These models require oversight, ongoing monitoring, and periodic reassessment. Models are subject to inherent limitations due to the use of historical trends and simplifying assumptions, uncertainty regarding economic and financial outcomes, and emerging risks from the use of applications that may rely on artificial intelligence.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The Dodd-Frank Act established the CFPB and empowered it to exercise broad rule making, supervision, and enforcement authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws. In recent years, the CFPB has continued to focus its enforcement and rule making efforts on certain types of fees commonly charged by financial institutions. In addition, the CFPB has recently focused on the use of artificial intelligence, emerging paycheck advance products, financial data privacy, digital payment applications, and open banking. These efforts have included issuing final rules on a number of issues including on fees charged for deposit accounts, credit cards, and other financial products, issuing advisory opinions, pursuing litigation against financial institutions for lack of anti-fraud measures on peer-to-peer payment platforms, and various enforcement actions and penalties against a number of financial institutions for practices related to fraud, credit reporting failures, and discriminatory lending practices.
In the normal course of its business, the Bank collects, processes and retains sensitive and confidential customer and consumer information. Despite the security measures we have in place, our facilities and systems may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks, security breaches, acts of vandalism, computer viruses, misplaced or lost data, programming or human errors, attacks enhanced or facilitated by artificial intelligence (“AI”) and other similar events.
The Company’s business may be materially affected by the emergence of disruptive new technologies or approaches enabled by the rapid pace of innovation unfolding in the artificial intelligence space.
The safe and responsible integration of AI functionality as it rapidly evolves presents emerging ethical and legal challenges, and the use of such technologies may result in diminished brand trust and reputational harm. As with many innovations, AI presents risks and challenges that could significantly disrupt our business model. In addition, the use of AI by bad actors presents increasingly complex and sophisticated security threats to our confidential customer, employee, and Company data, and we must make additional efforts to maintain network security.
The regulatory landscape surrounding AI technologies is evolving, and the ways in which these technologies will be regulated by governmental authorities, self-regulatory institutions, or other regulatory authorities remains uncertain and may be inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Certain jurisdictions in which we operate are considering or have proposed or enacted legislation and policies regulating AI and non-personal data, such as the recent Executive Order on AI. Such regulations may result in operational costs to modify, maintain, or align our business practices, or constrain our ability to develop, deploy, or maintain these technologies.
We use models and strategies to forecast losses, project revenue, and measure and assess capital requirements for various credit, market, operational and strategic risks. These models require oversight, ongoing monitoring, and periodic reassessment. Models are subject to inherent limitations due to the use of historical trends and simplifying assumptions, uncertainty regarding economic and financial outcomes, and emerging risks from the use of applications that may rely on artificial intelligence. Our models and strategies may not be adequate due to limited historical data and shocks caused by extreme or unanticipated market changes, especially during severe market downturns or stress events. Regardless of the steps we take to ensure effective controls, governance, monitoring and testing, and implement new risk management tools, we could suffer operational, reputational and financial harm if our models and strategies and other risk management tools fail to properly anticipate and manage the current and evolving risks we face.
