BAC Applauds Landmark Passage of Trigger Lead Ban
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Broker Action Coalition (BAC) welcomes the passage of the Homebuyers Privacy Protection Act, bipartisan legislation that limits the sale of trigger leads. With the Senate passing the House version on August 2, the bill has officially cleared Congress and now heads to the President's desk. The BAC urges President Trump to sign the bill into law without delay. 'This victory shows what's possible when brokers get involved, stay organized, and invest in advocacy.' Brendan McKay, Chief Advocacy Officer and Co-Founder of the BAC Share The passage of this bill through Congress marks the culmination of a multi-year advocacy effort—driven by the BAC, its advocates, and coalition partners. Led by the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), this united effort aimed to ban abusive trigger lead practices and curb the sale of consumer data without consent. This legislative victory would not have been possible without the leadership of Representatives John Rose (R-TN) and Ritchie Torres (D-NY) and Senators Jack Reed (D-RI) and Bill Hagerty (R-TN). Why Brokers Fought to End Trigger Leads When a consumer applies for a mortgage and their credit is pulled, credit bureaus sell that data as 'trigger leads'—including personal details like full name, contact information, and credit score range. Solicitors buy these leads and unleash a barrage of calls, texts, and emails, overwhelming homebuyers at a critical point in the process. All of this is done without the consumer's permission or proper disclosure. Some solicitors blur compliance boundaries, using deceptive language to imply connections with brokers or lenders. In addition to violating basic data privacy expectations, these tactics erode consumer trust and have been especially harmful to first-time homebuyers, non-native English speakers, and other vulnerable borrowers. The Homebuyers Privacy Protection Act ends these abusive practices while preserving narrow exceptions for pre-existing relationships and giving consumers the power to opt in. Thank You to the Partners Who Powered the Push Advocacy at this level doesn't happen alone. It takes investment, commitment, and shared belief in what's possible. The BAC is proud to recognize the partners that helped make this win possible: Equity Prime Mortgage (EPM), Pennymac TPO, The Loan Store, Inc., Rocket Pro, Paramount Residential Mortgage Group, Inc. (PRMG), Freedom Mortgage Wholesale Division, Newfi Wholesale, Gold Star Wholesale, and West Capital Lending. These partners stood alongside brokers and homebuyers to champion stronger consumer protections and real industry change. Continued Commitment to Homebuyer & Broker Interests 'The BAC was built to channel broker priorities into real policy wins. When we launched, we asked our earliest supporters to help set the agenda. The response was overwhelmingly clear: ending abusive trigger leads was our top priority. Today's congressional action delivered on that,' said Brendan McKay, BAC Chief Advocacy Officer and Co-Founder. 'This victory shows what's possible when brokers get involved, stay organized, and invest in advocacy.' 'This is a major win—but it's just the beginning,' added Rachel Clark, BAC Executive Director. 'If you want more of this kind of progress, brokers need to keep showing up—and start funding the fight.' About the Broker Action Coalition The Broker Action Coalition (BAC) is the grassroots advocacy channel uniting mortgage brokers and their supporters to fight for broker and homebuyer rights nationwide. The BAC aims to level the playing field between independent mortgage brokers and retail banks, to support inclusive homebuying policy change, and to fight for the needs of Veterans, minorities, and underserved communities to make the American dream of homeownership possible for more people than ever before.

🎙️ More signings for Barça? Laporta says the transfer market's still open
FC Barcelona is still unable to register its new signings, Joan García and Marcus Rashford, or the renewed Szczesny, due to the economic restrictions that the club is facing, but Joan Laporta is not closing the door to further reinforcements. "As a club, we need to have more players than usual, and that means we need to invest more," explained the Blaugrana president in an interview with CNN. Laporta justified the need to expand the squad by arguing that players are not machines. "We have players with a lot of talent, but they are also human beings, and there is a limit," he stated. "They need time to rest and enjoy themselves, and I think that's something to take into account," he added. 🏴 Laporta analyzes Rashford So far, the only confirmed signings are goalkeeper Joan García and striker Marcus Rashford. Regarding the latter, the president highlighted his involvement in wearing the Blaugrana jersey. "We signed this player because he had a great commitment to coming to Barcelona," Laporta assured. "He is fast, strong, committed, and did everything possible to sign for Barça," he added. "He pressured his agent, spoke with the club, and at the same time, with Manchester United," the director detailed. 🌎 Expanding market Laporta also showed himself to be open to playing an official LaLiga match in the United States. "It would be a great honor to participate in that event: an official LaLiga match that would also be an important event in the United States," he added. During the tour of Asia, Laporta has been one of the main protagonists. He participates in numerous institutional acts and has highlighted the importance of this market for the club. "For us, Asia is crucial, it's very important," he assured. "It's a market where we can develop our image, our brand, and our values," he said. "We have many, many followers here and we are very, very grateful for the treatment," Laporta concluded. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

‘I've seen F1 go from a man's world to women at the front of the queue'
When race promoter Ariane Frank-Meulenbelt took over the running of the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2012, Formula One was very much still a man's world. Now, she sees the demographic of both the fans and those who work in motorsport changing. 'It's getting younger. It's getting way more female. I watch the opening of the gates at every grand prix and the thing that really struck me last year was that the first people at the gate were young women,' she says. 'The noses pressed up to the gate were all women.' Having held its inaugural race in 1986, the Hungarian GP was the first and only grand prix to ever be held behind the Iron Curtain. Celebrating its 40th year in 2025, it remains one of the longest running and most popular on the F1 calendar The Formula One Group (FWONK) has an estimated market cap of £24bn, and posted revenue of $3.41bn (£2.54bn) for 2024, up 5.9% annually. How F1 became the family business Frank-Meulenbelt's own entry into the F1 scene started at the age of 14, when the family business – set up by her father, uncle and mother – took over the promotion rights for the Hungarian GP in 1994. 'My father's English was notoriously bad, so he started dragging me with him around the world to help him translate in meetings and in contracts. So I started very young in this business.' Now splitting her time between Budapest and Vienna, Frank-Meulenbelt – officially the vice-president for international relations at the Hungaroring motorsport circuit – spent a stint working for Red Bull in London before returning home to the Austrian capital in 2007 knowing that at some point she was likely to take over the family firm. However, tragedy struck in 2012 with the sudden death of her father and she unexpectedly had to step up and take his place – just weeks before that year's Hungarian GP and with her one-year-old son in tow. 'That was a shock to the system. We all heavily relied on him as a family and also as a business. I mean, he was very much the heart and soul of the F1 business, especially. It was seven weeks before the grand prix and there was no handover,' she recalls. Her father, Tamas Frank, was very much an 'old-style' businessman – 'he was very much relationships, two mobile phones and not much documentation' – so there was very little to work with. But cancelling the event was never in question and she had strong support from then F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone. 'I remember Bernie calling me and saying, 'If you don't want to have the grand prix, let me know and we'll find a solution.' And that hadn't crossed my mind. It was clear we were going to carry on. And, you know, luckily it was a big team and a lot of them have been involved for many, many years, and we made it work.' Despite the tragic circumstances and ensuing challenges, the 2012 Hungarian GP did go ahead and was won by Lewis Hamilton. Not that she really remembers much; it was all an emotional blur. But the race went ahead and that's what mattered. F1 promoter in her own right Fast forward to 2025, and Frank-Meulenbelt has established herself as a race promoter in her own right. Last year alone, a record 300,000 spectators flocked to Budapest for the Hungarian Grand Prix, long deemed a classic on the F1 calendar. She also works closely with the Austrian GP, for which her company sells tickets. Meanwhile, at home, the toddler of 2012 is now a strapping teenager with a younger brother also in double digits. But while she at least had a year at home with her oldest child, the second time round was very different as she had little, if any maternity leave. 'He was in the office with me and I had a lot of help,' she explains. Read more: 'We were told being bald is bad — but our skincare gel hit 8,000 orders in one month' Indeed, Meulenbelt-Frank is the first to admit that juggling a successful career in motorsport with family life is a challenge – particularly with travelling frequently. 'I've got to be honest, it's hard. I can't say that I'm there for every school play or sports tournament. But I've got a very supportive husband and if I'm not there, he is.' They do carve out time as a family wherever possible, though, and the Hungarian GP still sees all family hands on deck. Her older son even had a small role at the 2024 event – just as she had started out with her father. 'That was a full circle moment for me,' she says. Her proudest professional moment, undoubtedly, is helping get Formula One back on the road through COVID, when many teams looked set to fail without sponsorship money. After the start of the 2020 season was cancelled, it came back to life behind closed doors – first in Austria, which held two races, and then Hungary, over three consecutive weekends in July. When first asked whether she could imagine holding a closed-door event in seven weeks' time, Meulenbelt-Frank thought 'have you lost it?'. 'But within about half an hour, we thought let's try and get together with our friends in Austria. We knew that we were going to find a way to get the sport back on the road.' Read more: A naval officer's submarine saga inspired me to become a leader 'Those seven weeks were like reinventing the wheel. Nobody knew how you put on an event with so few people, borders shut and at the height of COVID and testing. But we managed to pull off three successful events between us and that's what got F1 on the road and then other sports like football followed.' After over a decade managing the event herself, such achievements are very much her own. 'I've never thought of myself as 'oh, it's weird because I'm a woman'. For me, it was always strange because I was a daughter. I always thought, I wonder if they're still looking at me as a 14-year-old, or whether they're taking me seriously. 'And that's taken quite a lot of time to say, actually, I'm now known for my own achievements – you know, keeping the business going in COVID and growing the business, making new contracts and seeing the ticket sales for the Hungarian Grand Prix skyrocket. These are achievements I have to credit to myself; there's nobody else around to credit them to.' Times have definitely changed since Frank-Meulenbelt joined the top table in motorsport. Whereas once women in the sport tended to be hospitality and 'grid girls', they are now far more present at every level – from the C-suite down to the fans. Read more: I ditched waking up before 5am every day to grow my luxury bedding brand Much of this reflects wider societal changes, but it is also in large part down to Liberty Media's 2017 takeover of F1, which has seen the sport modernise its business model, expand its global reach and grow its fanbase. Under Liberty's leadership, F1 has also zoomed onto the screens of millions thanks to Netflix series Drive To Survive and thanks to the recently-released F1: The Movie, part of which was filmed at the Hungaroring. 'We'll see whether it's too much for the casual fan, but I think it'll give it the next big push,' she observes. 'The racing scenes are incredible.' As for the young women at the Hungaroring gates who may, one day, want to enter the F1 business… 'I think it's a great thing. And If they think I'm paving the way for them, that's great too.'Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
