| 20:32 EDT |  | JPM, WFC, BAC | Major U.S. banks facilitating state-banned 'payday' loans, NYT says
Major U.S. banks are quickly becoming the facilitators of Internet-based payday lenders like Loanshoponline.com and Advancemetoday.com that offer short-term loans with extremely high interest rates. JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC) and Wells Fargo (WFC) do not make the loans but are a necessary link for the internet-based "payday" lenders, says the New York Times, "enabling the lenders to withdraw payments automatically from borrowers’ bank accounts, even in states where the loans are banned entirely. In some cases, the banks allow lenders to tap checking accounts even after the customers have begged them to stop the withdrawals," says the New York Times. Reference Link |

In a regulatory filing, JPMorgan disclosed that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is investigating the firm’s bidding practices in certain organized power markets. In March, the firm received a Wells-type notice that the FERC staff intends to recommend that the Commission bring a possible enforcement action against J.P. Morgan Ventures Energy, JPMorgan Chase, and certain firm personnel relating to alleged violations of FERC rules and the rules of certain independent system operators. Additionally, in November 2012, the FERC issued an order suspending JPMVEC’s market-based rate authority for six months commencing on April 1, based on its finding that statements concerning discovery obligations made in submissions related to the FERC investigation violated FERC rules regarding misleading information. |
