Steps
Check the current docket status of the rule before building a compliance program around it: as of mid-2026, the CFPB's Section 1033 open banking rule (finalized October 2024) is under a federal court preliminary injunction and is not being enforced
Confirm the CFPB is actively reconsidering the rule through a new rulemaking process, including the advance notice of proposed rulemaking it published in August 2025 seeking public comment
Do not treat the rule's original compliance deadlines, including the one that fell in April 2026, as binding; they passed without triggering enforcement while the injunction and reconsideration are pending
Separate technical readiness work (standardized consumer-permissioned data access, developer interfaces) from the legal compliance timeline, since the technical patterns are still reasonable to build toward even though the legal deadline is currently suspended
Re-check the rule's status close to any internal launch date, since an injunction outcome, a new final rule, or a further court ruling could each change the picture materially before you ship
Known gotchas
The rule is enjoined, not vacated; that is a meaningful legal distinction, since it is currently unenforceable pending litigation and rulemaking but has not been struck down permanently, so its content could still resurface in a revised form
The CFPB itself has taken the position in litigation that the rule exceeds its statutory authority and sought to have it set aside, then shifted to pursuing a rewrite instead; the agency's own stance has changed materially within the same litigation, so don't assume its earlier public statements still reflect current CFPB posture
Because the rulemaking is ongoing, requirements such as whether banks may charge for data access are explicitly being reopened for reconsideration, so implementation details from the original 2024 final rule text may not carry over to whatever version eventually takes effect
