PRODUCT LIFE STAGES APPROACH TO TREATING CUSTOMERS FAIRLY (TCF)
FSA (UK)
The FSA began studying the TFC programme in 2000, published its first paper in 2001, and the programme
was officially launched in 2005.
Realties in the UK:
1. A change of mindset of the industry
2. Clarity of regulatory expectations
3. Education to encourage consumer responsibility
4. A supervisory approach that is pre-emptive and intensive
5. Enforcement and compliance

Culture Change: Six Key Drivers
Leadership Strategy Decision making Controls Recruitment, training and competence Reward
FSB’s TCF initiative
FSB published a TCF discussion paper at the end of April 2010 which
introduces TCF concept and contextualises it by dealing with specific
examples
Stakeholder workshops to debate TCF
Cross-sectoral task team
External consultant
FSA Stakeholder Workshop
Considering comments received
Key elements
Culture Change
• Fair treatment at the heart of company’s business• NOT a compliance function• Ownership of TCF should rest at Board and Senior
Management level• Board/Senior Management must embed culture of TCF at all
levels of organisation• Further guidance on TCF culture framework and a self-
assessment tool will be published
Key elements
Revisiting the regulatory framework
• Challenges of rules based approach vs outcomes based approach to regulation
• Combination of rules/principles in regulation so that the ‘spirit’ of what the regulator wants to achieve is made clear
• Gap analysis of legislation of FSB to determine if all elements of TCF are adequately covered and to ensure alignment across sectors.
• Guidance notes on TCF best practice will be published
Key elements
Revisiting the supervisory approach to market conduct
Reactive approach vs proactive approach Increased focus on thematic on-site visits / testing of outcomes on the
ground (for instance by way of mystery shopping)
Creating the right incentives
Relying on financial institution to do the right thing : TCF not likely to succeed Visible enforcement of TCF principles, increased probability of detection,
higher cost of non-compliance (steep penalties) Enforcement Committee Other forms of redress
Key elements
Consumer Education and Co-ordination with Ombuds
Consumers also have a responsibility to understand rights/obligations
TCF and Consumer Education must go hand in hand –
- Asymmetry of information
- Generally complex nature of financial products
- Consumer Education Department
Next Steps
Roadmap document Evaluation of comments and setting out what FSB will do next and how Published by year-end
Self-assessment pack Briefing document Self-assessment tool Initial focus on product providers Piloted process, published for industry to use
Benchmark study Survey of firms based on self-assessment tool Interviews with firms Publication of assessment and report
Supervisory Gap Sub Committee Regulatory Gap Sub Committee
Conclusion
TCF aims to elevate fair treatment of consumers on
agendas of financial institutions.
Behavioural change will be a multiyear project
After consideration of comments on discussion paper-
Issuance of more detailed guidance on what the FSB
expects of firms in applying TCF.
Obligation will be on Board/Senior Management to
undertake a TCF self-assessment
