Note 12 — Subsequent Events

 

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has promulgated a new rule regarding prepaid financial products, which, among other things, establishes new disclosure requirements specific to prepaid accounts, eliminates certain fees that may currently be imposed on prepaid accounts, and effectively eliminates the ability of a prepaid card provider, such as the Company’s Netspend business, to offer courtesy overdraft protection on prepaid accounts. The new rule was originally scheduled to become effective on October 1, 2017. In April 2017, the CFPB released a final rule delaying the effective date by six months. The rule will now take effect on April 1, 2018. Given this delay, the Company does not expect its 2017 financials to be significantly impacted by the rule.

 

Management performed an evaluation of the Company’s activity as of the date these financial statements were issued and has concluded that, other than as set forth above, there are no significant subsequent events requiring disclosure.
