Regulatory Actions

SEC, CFPB, FDIC & Federal Register

Regulatory Actions searches enforcement actions and regulatory filings from US financial regulators. Query SEC litigation releases, CFPB consumer finance enforcement, FDIC bank failures, and Federal Register rules from a single tool — all pulling from official government sources.

Financial compliance research used to mean navigating separate agency websites and hoping their search worked. This tool aggregates the key US regulatory databases into one place so you can run broad monitoring, investigate a specific company's regulatory history, or track new rules being proposed in your industry.

What you can do

  • sec_enforcement — search SEC litigation releases and accounting enforcement actions by keyword and date range
  • cfpb_enforcement — browse CFPB consumer finance enforcement actions with respondent and product filters
  • fdic_failures — look up FDIC bank failures by year and state with acquiring institution details
  • federal_register — search rules, proposed rules, and notices from any federal agency

Who it's for

Compliance officers monitoring regulatory activity in financial services, lawyers researching enforcement history for due diligence, analysts tracking banking sector stability, journalists and researchers investigating regulatory actions against companies, and risk teams staying ahead of proposed rule changes.

  2. To monitor new banking regulation, call federal_register with a keyword like "mortgage" or "cryptocurrency" and filter by type "proposed_rule".
