US consumer watchdog kicks off redo of 'open banking' rules on customer data
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Thursday kicked off a do-over of its "open banking" regulations governing consumer control over the sharing of personal data between banks and the burgeoning financial technology sector as the two industries feud over proper controls and access. The decision marked an about-face amid public pressure from fintech firms and crypto entrepreneurs whose fortunes have soared since President Donald Trump returned to the White House this year. The watchdog asked numerous questions on how best to implement the consumer data rules -- now 15 years in the making and prescribed as part of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation -- requiring that banks give consumers access to their own financial data, including account information, transactions, usage and fees "upon request." The regulations were previously completed by the Biden administration, earning a legal challenge from the banking industry who opposed that version, citing risks to consumer data security. Former CFPB Director Rohit Chopra said in October that the regulations would let consumers switch banks with the same ease as switching telephone companies, allowing comparison shopping for mortgages and accounts - with data shared free of charge. The Trump administration initially told a court it supported banking industry calls to strike down the Biden regulations but in late July reversed course, saying that due to unnamed "recent events in the marketplace," it would replace the regulations with a version more to the administration's liking. The backpedaling came after politically connected crypto entrepreneurs, including Tyler Winkelvoss and Donald Trump Jr., took to social media to denounce JPMorgan Chase over a Bloomberg report that the bank had informed fintech firms they would in fact have to pay potentially hefty fees for access to depositors' data, even though the pending Biden-era regulations still prevented this. In an earnings call in mid-July, JPMorgan chief Jamie Dimon said securely sharing customer data was costly.

UEFA fines Polish club Rakow after fans displayed political banner at game against Maccabi Haifa
NYON, Switzerland (AP) — UEFA fined Polish club Rakow Czestochowa 10,000 euros ($11,600) on Thursday after fans displayed a far-right political banner at a game against Maccabi Haifa. European soccer's ruling body announced the verdict over a charge against Rakow of 'transmitting a message not fit for a sports event' at the Europa Conference League qualifying game last week, adding that its investigation continues into a separate incident involving Maccabi supporters. Diplomats from Poland and Israel criticized Maccabi fans last week for displaying a banner that said 'Murderers since 1939' in English. One week earlier, at the first-leg game in Poland, Rakow supporters had shown a banner in Polish alleging Israel was killing people and the world was silent. Rakow continues to play in the Conference League — hosting Bulgarian side Arda later Thursday in the first leg of the qualifying playoffs round — after eliminating Maccabi 2-1 on aggregate. Rakow also was fined 30,000 euros ($34,800) by UEFA for fans lighting fireworks at the second-leg game Maccabi hosted in neutral Hungary. A one-game ban on Rakow selling tickets for an away game in a UEFA competition was suspended for a two-year probationary period. UEFA did not refer in its disciplinary judgment to Rakow's formal request last week to exclude Maccabi from European competitions next season for alleged 'repeated violations' of its rules. 'We do not agree with the distortion of historical truth,' Rakow said last Friday about the 'murderers' banner. 'Poles often risked their lives hiding Jews and organizing resistance against Nazi Germany.' ___ AP soccer:

Trump Suggests Ukraine ‘Play Offense' as He Pressures Putin
President Donald Trump insinuated in a social media post that he's open to Ukraine launching more attacks on Russia, as the White House looks to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree to a one-on-one meeting with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy. 'It is very hard, if not impossible, to win a war without attacking an invaders country,' Trump wrote. 'It's like a great team in sports that has a fantastic defense, but is not allowed to play offense. There is no chance of winning!'
