Trump moves to scale back financial regulations
– canadianbusiness.com
President Donald Trump is taking his first steps aimed at scaling back financial services regulations, and the Republican-run Congress cast a vote early Friday signalling that it’s eager to help.
The president signed an executive order that will direct the Treasury secretary to review a 2010 financial oversight law, which reshaped financial regulation after the 2008-09 financial crisis.
Trump also signed a presidential memorandum that instructs the Labor Department to delay implementing an Obama-era rule that requires financial professionals who charge commissions to put their clients’ best interests first when giving advice on retirement investments.
While the financial oversight order won’t have any immediate impact, the administration’s intent is clear.

The credit card company partnered with Costco says customers can safely ignore the expiry date on the retailer’s Cash Back Rebate Coupons. A spokesperson for Capital One, which administers the Costco card, told MoneySense the coupons will be honoured post-expiration across Canada.Costco mails out its cash-back rewards in the form of a coupon, instead of applying the cash reward directly to credit card holders as most other programs do. Capital One’s comments come two months after Ontario passed legislation banning the expiry of loyalty points. Some consumers are receiving coupons in the mail in recent days that still carry an expiry.
While the Ontario legislation was inspired by Air Miles’ plan to cancel points that were left unclaimed for five years, the Ontario MPP who championed the private member’s bill says it also encompasses the Costco reward program. “We are making all loyalty programs as if they are gift cards, and gift cards are not allowed to expire on the basis of time alone,” explains Arthur Potts (Beaches-East York)…
