In the latest issue of online publication Global Banking & Finance Review, Bob Schumacher, Managing Partner of Bold Insight, details ways that fintech and financial services firms can best prepare for the Financial Consumer Authority (FCA) Consumer Duty that will come into effect on 31 July 2023. In the article, How financial services firms can prepare for the impending FCA Consumer Duty, Schumacher shares how user research can be used to improve products and help to ensure that the FCA Consumer Duty requirements are met.
The upcoming FCA Consumer Duty implementation sets higher and clearer standards of consumer protection across financial services. The Duty requires financial services firms to put the needs of customers first. In all aspects of business, products and services must be fair, clear, and accessible.
“While the new set of rules is a significant change for financial services firms, improving how firms interact with their customers is also an opportunity,” said Schumacher. “Firms ensure trust is built with their customers by carefully researching and then building on the learning. This is key to driving loyalty and ultimately business success.”
