UK banks to be more accommodating toward borrowers, FCA on duty

London should remain top financial centre

Lenders in Britain received a stream of letters (3,500) as the country’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) reached out to thousands of lenders to command a more sizable amount of support toward borrowers who are in a state of financial instability. The expenses for their livelihood have surged, and following this was the poor response from a select few lenders that led to the consequential shortcoming of more than 30 loan providers.

Looming inflation and oil insecurity arm the front while several unguarded consumers, who hadn’t received proper instructions on how to survive through challenges of managing ledgers of finances, or how to deal with unsteady economic conditions, suffer through them without guidance. The Watchdog, which overlooked the movements of popular banks and lesser-known loaners, shared this worry of misguided customers trying to last through such circumstances.

Meanwhile, UK households are preparing to fend against a further hike in living costs. Inflation hit 9% in the first quarter of this year—which is allegedly the highest since the year 1982; as if that wasn’t enough to fret over, they now brace themselves to guard well against the new wave of inflation that is forecasted further into the year.

To shed more light on this segment, the Executive Director of Consumers & Competition, FCA—Sheldon Mills, emphasized that immediate measures must be taken to prevent more damage to those who are being crushed by debt. It will only get worse over the next few months, as a solid portion of consumers are experiencing first-hand repercussions of the surging rates for the cost of living in their finances.

As a requirement for this situation, it is demanded that banks ought to offer aid to grappling borrowers attuned to their necessities, and must levy fees that only covered the basic, surface-level amount.

FCA has revealed that about 34 firms have been reported to have serious failings regarding how their customers are treated, and that had to be changed. Though, from their conclusive data report, it had found substantial proof of banks, lenders, and major loaners handing out suitable standards of assistance. Therefore, it’s safe to say only a marginal portion of banks have to correct their behavior toward borrowers in these uncertain times. 

These letters had a specific audience, among those were the “Buy Now Pay Later” (BNPL) providers who got a reminder to buoy up the satisfactory quality of customer support, care, and response. Albeit not every BNPL product is supervised, it still sends a good message for FCA to not be partial in their reprimand.

FCA penned down a detailed review of the sector, which noted about 4 surveys of a larger group of 400 lending firms, and quite an elaborative evaluation of a trial of around 63 firms, apart from thorough consumer research.

They promised to continue their duty and enforce proper care and support to those who need it. It will have a hawk-eyed vision as it looked over the outcomes, and aimed to cumulate reports to scrutinize well. Firms will not have a loophole to slip through under their radar as they prioritize the consumers more than lenders.

If deemed necessary, it will use its authority and implementation rights to set things straight at the sight of consumer exploitation of some sort.

Mills added that the booming industry of financial services is certain they are being watched and will likely perform appropriately in the next couple of months, as they’re aware of their weighty role in aiding with how the customers manage their finances.

So long as the FCA kept them in check, the borrowers can expect to get through these unforeseen challenges of inflation and other similar economic distress that they might be subjected to.
