DCA supports the diverse set of perspectives from multiple industries among its members by providing governing bodies the information and insight they need to assure a sound and efficient environment for digital commerce.
DCA Consumer Data Transparency Rights
DCA recently submitted commentary to CFPB in response to a proposed new rule regarding consumer access to financial records under the Dodd Frank Act. The comment letter draws heavily from DCA’s Consumer Data Transparency Rights. These cross-industry consumer data standards, developed by DCA member companies, under the auspices of the DCA in 2018 and 2019, reflect the combined aspiration of members to implement common industry best practices and standards for the safe and effective use of consumer financial data.
