Five key challenges that firms will face in complying with the proposed consumer duty

From 31 July 2023, firms will need to ensure they comply with the FCA’s Consumer Duty. 

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has proposed a new consumer duty that will require firms to prioritise customers' interests and improve outcomes. The Consumer Duty is part of the FCA's 2022-2025 strategy and aims to create a paradigm shift for firms by making them more accountable for their actions.

The FCA has said that it expects firms to embed the consumer duty into their culture and business models, and to demonstrate how they are meeting the new standards.
