Three months ago, Figure started using Method to help homeowners consolidate their debt more efficiently by leveraging their home equity. What happened next? ⬇️ Reduced monthly payments: Customers reduced their monthly debt payment by an average of $500-$600, freeing up funds for essential needs. 💳 Lowered credit card balance interest: Borrowers who consolidated credit card debt saw a 17% rate reduction in the weighted average APR of their debt, equating to $1,084 in annual savings. 🏦 Lowered personal loan balance interest: The weighted average APR changed to 10.8%, which, on a $20,000 personal loan, equates to over $200 in annual savings. Read how Figure is facilitating payment directly to the creditors of HELOC borrowers (with help from Method) here. 👇

👏 We applaud the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for delivering a rule making that codifies the promise of Open Banking. Consumer financial health has been put front and center, with consumers able to access and share their financial data in pursuit of the most competitive products and services. Method appreciates the CFPB's efforts to ensure that all consumers be able to access the benefits of Open Banking and to provide a clear standard for all financial institutions and data aggregators in the industry. #OpenBanking #Fintech #FinancialInclusion #ConsumerRights #CFPB #Section1033
A historic day for U.S. consumers and open finance! Today, FDATA North America celebrates the CFPB's final rule implementing Section 1033 of the Dodd-Frank Act, granting millions of Americans a legally binding right to access and share their financial data. This rule empowers consumers to take control of their financial lives, choose providers that best meet their needs, and drive a more transparent, competitive, and consumer-focused financial services marketplace. FDATA's Executive Director, Steve Boms, applauds this critical step, and we look forward to working with the CFPB to expand this framework to include additional accounts over time. 📢 Important Note: We urge the CFPB to include Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) data in future rules, ensuring the benefits of open finance reach lower-income households. Read more from industry leaders like Betterment, Morningstar Wealth Platform, Prism Data, Plaid, MX, Method, and Trustly on this transformational milestone in our full statement here: https://lnkd.in/eiP3fzXS #OpenBanking #Fintech #FinancialInclusion #ConsumerRights #CFPB #Section1033 #FDATANA
