LDF Holdings February Update
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau continues to move toward fair and balanced protection of consumers. This enables the Sovereign Nation business model of LDF Holdings to conduct business in a more predictable manner at the federal level. Some states, however, may move to increase regulations of online lending. State-by-state activity will remain on top of our list of activities to monitor for changes in regulatory activities. As things evolve in the regulatory environment, we’ll be sure to provide you with updates. Stay tuned!
