Consumer Duty

The Consumer Duty sets higher and clearer standards of consumer protection across financial services, requiring firms to put their customers' needs first.   A new consumer principle that requires firms to act to deliver good outcomes for retail customers. Requiring firms to act in good faith, avoid causing foreseeable harm and enable customers to pursue their financial objectives.

Product Provider Fair Value Assessments

Under the Consumer Duty product providers are required to carry out fair value assessments on the regulated products they manufacture. Intermediaries are expected to review these assessments to establish if they offer fair value to their customers. The assessments help confirm the target market, characteristics and distribution strategy.

We have links to all the fair value assessments below to make it easier for you to check them. Please use the drop down to select the provider, which will take you directly to the providers Consumer Duty fair value assessment page.
