Introduction to Consumer Duty (UK)
Train your employees on Consumer Duty’s 4 outcomes, cross-cutting rules, and fostering a customer-focused culture.
Course overview
It can be easy for your employees to forget that customers don’t understand the products they work with as well as they do. If they worked in a shop or supermarket, this might not have such a significant impact on the customer. But in finance, if a customer doesn’t have all the information they need, it can cause serious harm.
To make sure the customer’s needs are always prioritised, the FCA has introduced Principle 12 – The Consumer Duty. It’s a new principle that’s stricter than the other FCA principles and aims to raise standards across the retail finance industry. It sets out rules your employees must follow to improve customer care and make good customer outcomes a top priority.
