CFPB — Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Parent: Independent federal agency. Domains in this note: consumerfinance.gov, cfpb.gov.

What they regulate

Federal consumer financial products and services — mortgages, credit, debt collection, and related disclosures. Mortgage loan-originator lookups often use NMLS Consumer Access (not .gov). State banking/mortgage supervisors sit under state .gov portals.

Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.
