Financial Conduct Authority’s Consumer Duty
Coplus is fully committed to delivering the required outcomes of the FCA’s Consumer Duty, specifically in ensuring that consumers receive products and services that meet their needs and are marketed and sold fairly. We are also committed to ensuring consumers do not face unreasonable post-sale barriers, for example barriers which prevent the customer from changing products, switching providers, submitting a claim, or making a complaint. Coplus ensure products and services are designed and delivered to be compatible with the needs of the consumer, and take all reasonable steps to avoid consumer harm. Coplus continuously review product performance and proactively work towards ensuring our products provide genuine value and evolve in line with customer requirements.
