The UK Consumer Duty regulations mark a significant milestone in consumer protection. They’ve fundamentally transformed how businesses interact with their customers, by ensuring that firms consistently act in the best interests of consumers, and fostering a market where fairness, transparency, and accountability are paramount.

According to the FCA, 95% of financial firms acknowledge the significance of these changes in enhancing customer service and outcomes (Mishcon de Reya LLP). However, this and ever-increasing requirements are adding to the regulatory burden faced by the sector, particularly in insurance.
