What is TCF?
The FCA has outlined six key outcomes, which are central to the overall TCF initiative.
- Consumers should be confident that they are dealing with firms where treating customers fairly is embedded in the corporate culture.
- Services marketed and sold are done so with the aim that they meet the needs of the client and are targeted accordingly.
- Consumers should be provided with clear information and are kept appropriately informed before, during and after the service provision.
- Where advice is provided, it takes in to account a client's individual circumstances.
- The service provided is of an acceptable standard
- Consumers do not face unreasonable barriers to make a complaint.
