What We Do

THE IMPACT WE MAKE

For over 10 years, Better Markets has had a significant impact on financial reform – from re-shaping the political discourse to strengthening many parts of the Dodd-Frank rule-making process.

OUR IMPACT

Since its founding, Better Markets has had a significant impact on financial reform – from re-shaping the political discourse to strengthening many parts of the Dodd-Frank rule-making process. We’ve become a potent counterweight to the industry as the rules of financial reform are being drafted and challenged, filing more than 300 comment letters so that agencies finalize the strongest possible safeguards to protect the American people from another financial crash.

Better Markets led the charge against the industry attack on the proposed Volcker Rule limiting gambling by the big banks on Wall Street, meeting with regulators, testifying before Congress, advocating abroad, and ultimately protecting the rule from being killed.

Making the Banking System Work for All Americans and Not Just for a Select Few

Better Markets’ banking policy team focuses on three government agencies: the Federal Reserve System (“The Fed”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”). Better Markets works to promote policies that refocus the largest, most dangerous financial institutions away from risky and purely profit-driven activities and back to traditional banking activities that promote growth, jobs, and broad-based prosperity. We help shape the financial rules to end “too-big-to-fail” and to ensure that U.S. taxpayers and the economy are not held hostage to the performance of the largest banks and other systemically important financial institutions.
