What we know about the CFPB's forthcoming open-banking rule; Mutual advocates hope new rules can halt sector's long slide—and more in Bankers' Hours

American Banker reports the CFPB has submitted a new open-banking rule proposal to the White House OIRA, which would replace the Biden-era rule finalized in late 2024. Dorsey & Whitney expects the Trump administration could allow banks to charge fees. The paper also covers Federal Reserve proposals for mutual banks to raise capital, and updates on Global Payments’ AI POS platform, and Upstart’s plan to originate loans via a planned bank in 2027.

Who loses when Upstart becomes its own lender?

Upstart Holdings said it plans to move most or all loan originations to Upstart Bank, targeting a launch in early 2027, pending federal deposit insurance and Federal Reserve approval. Upstart paid originating banks $11.2 million in premium and trailing fees in H1 2025. It would not owe those fees on loans its own bank originates. Upstart shares closed $30.32 Tuesday.
