The Consumer Duty will be in Force on 31st July

The Consumer Duty comes into effect for new and existing products or services that are open to sale or renewal on 31st July 2023.

The Consumer Duty is designed to set higher and clearer standards of consumer protection across financial services, requiring firms to put their customers’ needs first

Firms can view the FCA’s Policy Statement and Finalised Guidance in incorporating the Duty into their operations.
