Last year, the Financial Conduct Authority introduced the Consumer Duty. This industry-wide regulation aims to further protect the interests of customers.
At Newbury, we have an embedded culture of customer excellence and so the Duty is viewed as an opportunity to raise the bar, as well as review what we already do for our members.
As a valued member, we would like to invite you to participate in a review of your experience with us to help us understand how our services and products align with your needs.
The FCA Consumer Duty encourages all Financial Services firms to avoid any foreseeable harm to its customers, especially those that might, in some way, be vulnerable. The survey contains a few questions around the theme of vulnerability. We appreciate this may be a sensitive topic, so feel free to mark the responses "prefer not to say”, if you do not wish to respond. By responding to these questions, it will really help us to ensure we are as inclusive as possible in the service we provide to all our customers.
Please note! This is new research, which we have asked research agency, Investor in Customers (IIC) to undertake on our behalf. This is not linked to any customer service surveys we have run previously.
During March and April 2024, we will be asking our members to complete this questionnaire, either online or over the phone. If you receive an email request from the IIC it will come from the address Gemma.Counsell@investorincustomers.com.
