AI Compliance for Financial Services
Financial services AI sits inside a four-regulator squeeze. CFPB has issued ECOA-and-FCRA guidance making algorithmic credit denial without specific adverse-action reasons unlawful, and has signalled that 'complex algorithm' is not a defence. SEC has charged firms for AI-washing in fund marketing, and the 2023 Predictive Data Analytics proposal would require broker-dealers and investment advisers to neutralise conflicts in AI-driven recommendations. FinCEN expects AI-driven AML monitoring to be governed, documented, and explainable. OCC, FDIC, and Federal Reserve apply SR 11-7 model risk management to every material AI model in a bank. EU layers the AI Act on top — credit scoring and insurance pricing are explicit high-risk categories with conformity-assessment obligations — and the DORA framework brings third-party AI vendor oversight under operational-resilience rules. State insurance departments and the NAIC AI Model Bulletin extend this to underwriting and claims. Enforcement is active: CFPB consent orders against algorithmic lending, SEC settlements over AI-washing, multi-state actions on tenant and consumer scoring. AIGI tracks every primary-source rule, supervisory letter, enforcement action, and pending bill affecting banks, broker-dealers, payments firms, fintechs, asset managers, and insurance. As of the most recent update, AIGI tracks 2 primary-source items affecting financial services.
