FCA publishes vulnerable customers guidance

Today the FCA released new guidance on the fair treatment of vulnerable customers - an important area for dealer staff given their role in identifying and assisting vulnerable customers through the car buying journey.

The FCA’s summary of the guidance here sets outs requirements for firms to understand the needs of vulnerable customers, have the necessary skills and capabilities, take practical action and monitor and evaluate where these needs have not been met. The next updates to the SAF Expert training material in 2021/22 will reflect the FCA’s new guidance.
