Elizabeth Warren To Head Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection

Posted: 16 Sep 2010 08:53 AM PDT

One of the creations of the financial reform bill (H.R. 4173 “Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act”) was a Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB), an organization that is charged with regulating financial products from payday loans to mortgages, credit cards to credit counseling, and a litany of products in between. Here’s an analysis of the actual text of the bill that creates this executive agency.

This week, President Obama announced that he would be calling on Elizabeth Warren to lead the agency.

Here’s the fun part: Warren was named “assistant to the president and special advisor to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner in charge of launching the new agency and setting its mission.” Had she been named its first director, she would need Senate confirmation, which would’ve been very difficult. Instead, she was named a “special advisor” with a broad set of powers that sound very much like those tasked to an agency’s first director. She’ll be recruiting staff, setting policy, and be the face of the agency.

Despite her prominence in the news lately, I don’t know much about Elizabeth Warren other than that she was tasked to as the chair of the oversight panel that investigated TARP and is seen as a consumer advocate.

I also think it’s a sad sign of the times that we have to employ such trickeration to get a clearly qualified candidate into a position we all need her to be in.

$175 Family Value Bonuses from M&T Bank

Posted: 16 Sep 2010 04:06 AM PDT

M&T BankM&T Bank has really gotten very aggressive in its promotions lately and this time they’re offering up to $175 in “Family Value Bonuses” when you open a checking account. You can access the promotion by visiting a specialty built website, BuiltForFamilies.com, and entering your zip code to see if there are eligible accounts in your area.

I already have an M&T Bank account, so I’m not eligible, but I really like how their account comparison page tells you everything you need to know. How many other places explain their fees in plain english? If you open an M&T Select Checking, there’s a $14 monthly service fee unless you have a balance over $5,000 or total balances of $10,000, or have a mortgage originally over $100,000. Their Totally Free Checking has no minimum balance or monthly fee and is eligible for $25 in cash, $50 in gift cards.

Here are the different accounts, their bonuses (gift card is from Best Buy), and minimum requirements:

  • M&T Select® Checking – $5,000 minimum balance, $125 in cash bonuses, $50 in gift cards
  • Power Checking – $50,000 min., $175 cash, $50 gift cards
  • Totally Free Checking – No min, $25 cash, $50 gift cards
  • College Checking – for students, $25 cash, $50 gift cards
  • Basic Banking – $3 monthly fee, $25 cash, $50 gift cards

The cash bonus is paid upon activation of a direct deposit and the activation of their M&T Visa credit card (the majority of the bonus is paid because of the direct deposit). The gift cards are paid out on activating overdraft protection and enrolling/using billpay.
