Manifesto

Support a nationwide campaign to warn consumers and businesses of the dangers of scams
Remove legal barriers preventing the sharing of data on fraud and money laundering
Facilitate access to additional data, such as student loans and Government records, to support responsible lending
Ensure the credit industry forbearance framework, designed to support consumers in financial difficulties, is matched by comparable standards across other sectors, such as HMRC, local authorities and utilities
Remove barriers and encourage collaboration in areas where commercial hurdles prevent innovation in the interests of consumers, e.g. contactless cards in transport
Assess regulation for consistency and proportionality across the range of bodies with overlapping responsibilities, including the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) and the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS)
Engage pro-actively with EU and international bodies to ensure interventions do not inhibit the ability of the UK market to compete globally
