Consumer Duty

The AMI team have worked extremely hard over the last year to help our members understand, and stay ahead of, the new Consumer Duty requirements. Most notable is our suite of Consumer Duty factsheets, breaking the rules down into easy-to-understand topics. You can find more information below. You can also find our original work on Consumer Duty in our archive.

Included in our factsheets section is our Information Sharing Guide – developed by the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries, UK Finance, Building Societies Association and the Intermediary Mortgage Lenders Association, to assist their members when considering information sharing requirements under the FCA’s Consumer Duty.

Our work on Consumer Duty is ongoing and we are regularly adding new content – so bookmark this page to stay updated, read the latest Consumer Duty news in our blog, and listen to our new Consumer Duty podcasts.

Consumer Duty Factsheets

The FCA introduced requirements aimed at raising standards across retail financial services – this is Consumer Duty.The FCA saw too many instances of poor consumer outcomes and by clarifying the expectations of firms more clearly through new rules and guidance, the FCA hopes to be able to hold poorly performing firms to account more easily. To help our member firms navigate through the Consumer Duty journey, AMI has produced a comprehensive set of factsheets covering each area.
