New report analyzes the cultural, technological, and operational impacts Section 1071 will have on SMB lenders
The enactment of Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act will soon transform the credit market, expanding the remit of the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (CFPB) to include small to midsize business (SMB) lending. Section 1071 will have cultural and training implications that will be enterprise-wide for lending financial institutions (FIs). In a new Impact Report, Section 1071 and SMB Lending: Understanding the Operational Impacts, research and advisory firm Aite-Novarica Group analyzes the impact of Section 1071 as currently proposed, including the cultural, technological, and operational impacts it will have on SMB lenders.
“The coming enactment of Section 1071 will be among the most impactful regulations in the business lending world in recent memory, with legal, reputational, operational, and cultural implications,” said David O’Connell, Strategic Advisor at Aite-Novarica Group and author of the new report. “FIs should prepare immediately for the required firewalling of Section 1071 data away from SMB application decision-makers, despite the fact it goes against the muscle memory of credit underwriters.”
A preview of the report is available online, and desk copies are available to qualified media. Please contact [email protected] or call Kaitlyn Labbe at +1.857.327.9442 for more information.
