The three advisory panels to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) that represent community banks, credit unions, and consumers are set to meet Sept. 23 by conference call to discuss regulatory matters and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumers and financial markets.

The meeting is open to the public and will run from 1 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. ET.
