Firms must act to deliver good outcomes for retail customers and put consumers at the heart of their businesses.
We can help you.
The Consumer Duty presents challenges and opportunities for firms. Working in partnership, we can help you to gain insight into your customers and evidence the required outcomes to ensure effective compliance with the new Consumer Duty.
For almost 10 years we have been industry pioneers in putting customers at the heard of decision making. We have a range of solutions to help you evidence that you consider the consumer in all you do.
The FCA will be looking for Board level monitoring of a firm’s performance against the Four Outcomes, including evidence of:
Senior Management Accountability
Product & Service Governance
Customer Experience Framework
From the Consumer Duty Champion on the board, through risk and governance teams, to insight and marketing colleagues, the implications of Consumer Duty will be felt across your organisation. We have experience in working with both Wealth and Asset Managers, as well as platforms, through the value chain, delivering insight that engages at all levels.
As you move from implementation plans into evidence, we can help with your prioritisation and scope of what you need to do next. Whether you’re starting with your customer journey, target market or sentiment tracking, we can give you the insight you need. Our webinar outlined the steps you need to take to ensure proportionality and prioritisation are the bedrock of your Consumer Duty implementation plans.
For longer, complex documents which have a call to action and are critical at the decision making point, we recommend individual, depth interviews:
For shorter, less complex documents where you are looking for feedback more on clarity, accessibility, look and feel, we recommend testing via our online, ‘pop-up’ community:
While the implications of Consumer Duty are far-reaching, we are helping many firms start their implementation plans with some simple testing. If you haven’t worked with us before, or you’re a small firm and don’t know where to start, then get in touch about testing some customer-facing content with us. We can test factsheets, KIDs, marketing materials and more.
Our insight will give you an understanding of how your customers, or proxy customers, understand the risks and characteristics of your products and whether they can make an informed decision about whether they are the appropriate products for them to invest in.
A simple communications test can range from £5,000-£8,000 +VAT.
“We debriefed the findings to our iNEDs and the Board really appreciated our insights. Testing the KID with TWC helped us to understand what good pre- and post-purchase journeys should look like.
We’re looking to implement the changes TWC recommended to improve our customer experience.” – Global Asset Manager
