Strategy, budget and performance

The mission of the CFPB is to make consumer finance rules more effective, to consistently and fairly enforce those rules, and to empower consumers to take more control over their economic lives. 

Our vision is a consumer finance marketplace:

  • where customers can see prices and risks up front and where they can easily make product comparisons;
  • in which no one can build a business model around unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices;
  • that works for American consumers, responsible providers, and the economy as a whole.

We publish our budget, strategy, and regular updates to provide transparency and to hold ourselves accountable to the public.

Strategic plan

In compliance with federal law, we publish a five-year strategy for pursuing our mission and vision.

Budget and performance

Every year, we publish our most current budget estimates describing the resources needed to accomplish our goals.  We also measure our performance against our strategic plan, and explain how we will continue to make progress. 

Financial reports

The financial reports describe how we have utilized our resources and the results of our financial operations.

Funds Transfer Requests

We receive funding from the Federal Reserve Board. We publish all our funds transfer requests and the Fed’s replies.
