Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

The broad prohibition on automated access, including browser plugins and crawlers, may conflict with CFPB Section 1033 consumer data rights that entitle consumers to authorize third parties to access their financial data. Legal teams should monitor regulatory developments in this area.
