The FCA published findings from its consumer finance supervisory work on how firms assess, evidence and monitor fair value under the Consumer Duty, highlighting good practice and areas for improvement under the price and value outcome in PRIN 2A.4 and chapter 7 of guidance FG22/5. It also shares observations on communicating fees and charges and preventing foreseeable harm from repeat or cumulative charges. The publication states that its examples do not create new requirements, and it is of interest mainly to consumer finance firms subject to the Consumer Duty.
Verifiche da considerare
Check whether fair value assessments include all financial and non-financial costs, such as consumers' time and effort, alongside expected benefits.
Review whether fair value conclusions are supported by sufficient evidence, management information and customer outcome data, including for customer groups with characteristics of vulnerability.
Review how fees and charges are communicated and whether controls such as limits on repeat or cumulative charges are monitored for effectiveness.
What does 'fair value' look like in practice? Three years into the Consumer Duty, here’s what we’ve learned.
The FCA blog shares observations from reviews of how firms assess, evidence and monitor fair value under the Consumer Duty, including fees and charges work and supervisory work on home energy consumer hire agreements. It sets out three areas that distinguished stronger from weaker approaches and questions firms can use to challenge their own assessments.
Verifiche da considerare
Check whether fair value assessments set quantified customer benefits directly against fees and interest paid, rather than relying on assumptions or product descriptions.
Review whether fair value is assessed across customer segments and pricing groups, not only across the whole target market as one group.
Consider whether comprehension of charges and total price is tested directly with customers, and whether 'pay as you save' or similar promotions could imply guaranteed savings or affordability.
The not-so-fine print: making consumer contracts fair
The FCA blog explains how it reviews and challenges unfair or unclear consumer contract terms under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Duty, and summarises example cases including a crypto firm's storage fees and a travel insurer's delay wording. It sets out what the FCA expects firms to do, such as using plain language, testing customer understanding and reviewing contracts regularly.
Verifiche da considerare
Review consumer contract terms for fairness and transparency, including fees, cancellation rights, variations, exclusions and complaints handling.
Check whether existing contracts still rely on terms that could be unfair, and whether redress may be due where such terms were applied.
Consider testing whether customers understand key contract terms and whether complaints data points to unclear wording.
ESMA propone una rendicontazione Tassonomia UE più semplice
L'ESMA ha pubblicato una Relazione finale con consulenza tecnica destinata alla Commissione europea sulla semplificazione degli indicatori di prestazione chiave previsti dal Regolamento delegato sugli obblighi di informativa della Tassonomia. Essa raccomanda di limitare l'indicatore obbligatorio relativo alle spese operative (OpEx) alle spese per ricerca e sviluppo non capitalizzate e di eliminare l'indicatore a media ponderata dalla rendicontazione della Tassonomia a livello di gruppo. La consulenza è trasmessa in vista della revisione del Regolamento delegato da parte della Commissione e riguarda gli emittenti soggetti all'obbligo di informativa sulla Tassonomia.
Verifiche da considerare
Verificare se il proprio soggetto o gli emittenti detenuti rientrano nell'ambito di applicazione della rendicontazione degli indicatori di prestazione chiave del Regolamento delegato sugli obblighi di informativa della Tassonomia.
Valutare in che modo cambierebbero le attuali informative sugli OpEx e sugli indicatori a media ponderata a livello di gruppo qualora le proposte venissero adottate.
