The CFPB faces shutdown in 2026 due to funding cuts, staff reductions, and a proposed transfer to the Justice Department, sparking debate over its role in consumer protection.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), created in 2010 to protect consumers from unfair financial practices, is facing potential shutdown under President Trump’s second administration due to severe funding cuts, planned staff reductions of up to 90%, and a move to transfer its duties to the Justice Department.
The agency, which has halted enforcement actions and investigations, warns it may run out of money in early 2026.
Critics call it a political tool, while supporters, including Senator Elizabeth Warren and affected consumers like Tennessee teacher Bianca Jones, say it is vital for holding financial institutions accountable and correcting life-altering credit errors.
