The CFPB maintains an online database of college credit card agreements. The list is dominated by banks but does include some credit unions.

In a release, the CFPB said less is known about arrangements regarding other products marketed to students such as student identification cards that double as debit cards, cards used to access scholarships and student loans, and school-affiliated bank accounts.

The CFPB is asking the public, students, families, the higher education community, and financial institutions to provide input on their experiences with these products. The Bureau is seeking input on a variety of related issues including:

• What information schools share with financial institutions when they establish these relationships;
• How campus financial products are marketed to students;
• What fees students are being charged to use these products;
• How schools set up marketing agreements with financial institutions; and
• Student experiences using campus financial products in their day to day lives.

The comment request, along with information on how to electronically submit comments, is located on the CFPB's website.

The inquiry may have been prompted by Congressional pressure. In June 2012, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.) urged Cordray, Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Department of Education Inspector General Kathleen Tighe to examine student debit card programs at more than 900 colleges and universities.
