About the Consumer credit edition

Consumer credit lenders and credit brokers. CONC 3.3.1R(1) requires a firm to ensure that a communication or a financial promotion is clear, fair and not misleading. The Consumer Duty communications rules in PRIN 2A.5 also apply.

The FCA does not set a template for a promotions register. This pack is a practical structure built on FSMA s21, COBS 4 and FG24/1. Read the financial promotions guide or see the compliance monitoring master pack, which includes a financial promotions review.
