Recognizing and Preventing UDAAP introduces ways to identify and prevent acts or practices that materially increase the risk of consumers being treated in an unfair, deceptive, or abusive manner. This course explores ways to identify whether an unfair, deceptive or abusive act or practice has occurred or is likely to occur given a specific set of circumstances. This course stresses the importance of being able to recognize the elements of unfair, deceptive or abusive practices; understand the new and existing federal laws and regulations covering UDAAP and be able to proactively help your bank avoid UDAAP claims.
Please NOTE: This course uses the term “UDAAP” (instead of UDAP) throughout the course in order to proactively
address the new “abusive” standard under the CFPB’s Title X. Most bank regulators, however, are still examining banks
under the old UDAP provisions of Section 5 of the FTC Act—the primary federal law that prohibits unfair or deceptive
acts or practices and unfair methods of competition affecting commerce.
