Not all of our listeners will be familiar with the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980, but pending litigation on state DIDMCA opt outs could upend the bank partnership models employed by many fintechs. RegFi co-hosts Jerry Buckley and Sasha Leonhardt welcome Orrick partner James McGuire for an overview of DIDMCA’s interest rate exportation rules for state-chartered financial institutions and the lawsuit filed by industry groups in response to Colorado’s recent opt-out legislation. The conversation explores the critical balance between state regulations and national lending practices, including the potential implications to traditional banking, fintech innovation and consumer access to credit.
