The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) dropped its suit against JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), and Wells Fargo (WFC) on Tuesday over their handling of fraud on the peer-to-peer payments network Zelle.
A spokeswoman for the payment app’s parent company said the lawsuit against three large banks was “without merit, and legally and factually flawed.”
It's the latest lawsuit abandoned by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau since Trump appointees have taken over at the bureau.
Since Acting Director Russell Vought has taken over the CFPB, the agency has dropped at least a half dozen cases brought by his predecessor, Rohit Chopra.
