Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

We aim to make consumer financial markets work for consumers, responsible providers, and the economy as a whole. We protect consumers from unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices and take action against companies that break the law. We arm people with the necessary information and tools to make smart financial decisions. In a market that works, the prices, risks, and terms of the deal are clear upfront so that consumers can understand their options. We create tools, answer common questions, and provide tips that help consumers navigate their financial choices and shop for the best deal.
