With its proposed Consumer Duty rule, The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is signaling a major shift in expectations for financial services firms under its watch, as it steps up efforts to shield everyday consumers.

The Consumer Duty will impose a higher standard of consumer care at every stage of the customer relationship while focusing on outcomes, and stopping harm before it happens. In short, the Rule affirms the duty to put consumers’ interests first and makes it clear that senior managers will be held accountable when this doesn’t happen.
