BNY Mellon Supports a
Global Push for Financial Gender Equality
Each year, the United Nations’ Commission on the Status of Women brings world leaders together to review progress toward gender equality and the empowerment of women. As part of this year’s event, BNY Mellon partnered with the United Nations Foundation and the Group of Champions for Women’s Empowerment to discuss the findings of a new study: Powering Potential: Increasing women’s access to financial products and services. A webcast of the event is publicly available via UN Web TV. Powering Potential examines the gender gap in women’s access to financial products and services around the globe, and the potential impact narrowing this gap could make in improving women’s lives, unlocking global capital and increasing market opportunities for financial services companies. For example, in the retail banking sector alone, the report found that closing the gender gap could unlock US$40 billion in global revenue.

Pepper Hamilton's Richard P. Eckman Quoted in WSJ Pro Financial Regulation Article
Richard P. Eckman, a partner with Pepper Hamilton, was quoted in the April 2, 2018 WSJ Pro Financial Regulation article, "FDIC Raps Pro-Fintech Bank." Observers pointed out the FDIC’s action targeted a company that renegotiates and consolidates debt for consumers, rather than a plain-vanilla lender. “Debt collection is fraught with risks,” said Richard P. Eckman, a partner at Pepper Hamilton LLP. ... “Compliance is king, and if you don’t have a top-notch compliance program and know exactly what your partner is doing, you’re going to get in trouble,” Mr. Eckman said.

Ballard Spahr in the Mortgage Banking Update: S.2155 Does Not Facilitate Discriminatory Lending
In a blog post titled "How S.2155 (the Bank Lobbyist Act) Facilitates Discriminatory Lending," Professor Adam Levitin claimed, "This bill functionally exempts 85% of U.S. banks and credit unions from fair lending laws in the mortgage market." The claim was set forth in bold and italic text. If the intent was to draw attention to the claim, it worked. Members of this firm saw the claim. In short, the claim greatly mischaracterizes the limited implications of the amendment.
