The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was created as a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which was signed into law by President Barack Obama in July 2010. The bureau was established to oversee and enforce consumer protection laws in the financial sector. Elizabeth Warren, then a professor and consumer advocate, was instrumental in its creation and served as its first special advisor. The CFPB aims to ensure that consumers are treated fairly by financial institutions.
