    CP08/19: Regulating retail banking conduct of business

    http://www.fsa.gov.uk/pubs/cp/cp08_19.pdf

    1.1 In this Consultation Paper (CP) we are seeking views on a proposed new framework for regulating retail banking conduct of business.

    proposed implementation November 2009 - same time as Payment Services Directive which you can view Payment Services Directive


    4.5 The OFT has recently completed a consultation on its market study on personal
    current accounts.We are liaising closely on the interaction between its potential
    remedies for the weaknesses identified and our proposals.We believe that the highlevel
    rules we are suggesting, together with the PSD requirements, should help to
    address a number of issues identified in the market study, for example, lack of
    transparency on pricing of relevant products and services.

    Makes interesting reading if a little hard going.

    ''We also note the increased volume of complaints arising in relation to current and savings accounts. While these involve only a small percentage of total users, minor regulatory and market failures can add up to significant cumulative numbers.''

    I don't know what the percentage is of current account users that have complained but by volume it must be in the hundreds of thousands. So to discribe it as ''only a small percentage'' is playing it down a bit.


    Do you fancy having a bash at this Ame? I've not finished reading it yet but it may that be we could re-hash some of the material in our OFT consultation as it wouldn't have been seen by the FSA.

        According to the BBA's own poll, a staggering 13% of people last visted their branch to complain, compared with 4% to arrange a loan or overdraft and 10% to get advice.

        (2) Why did you last go into your branch?

        to arrange a loan / overdraft
        4%

        to get some advice
        10%

        to complain
        13%

        to pay in a cheque
        55%

        to get cash
        15%
