Banks, credit card companies and other financial mainstays will be required to comply with new data privacy and retail account portability regulations under a sweeping rule issued Tuesday by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

In short, the new rule, on the drawing board since 2010 and the aftermath of the financial crisis, will bring U.S. banking and financial services and protections in line with those already required in other nations.
