Financial wellbeing needs a tailored approach: The FCA’s vision for financial services
The FCA is encouraging tailored approaches to financial wellbeing, targeted support and better evidence of customer outcomes. Firms need value measures that show how clients are better off.

Driving innovation and trust: Recordsure becomes a Finance & Leasing Association member
TCC Group has become a member of the Finance & Leasing Association, the UK trade body for asset finance, consumer finance and motor finance. The membership supports governance, compliance, remediation and technology work across regulated finance.

Motor Finance Compensation Scheme consultation extended but preparation remains critical
The FCA has extended the Motor Finance Compensation Scheme consultation, but firms still need to maintain momentum. Preparation requires scope assessment, remediation design, governance and a balance of people and automation.

Evidencing compliance in a data-led regulatory world
FCA supervision is becoming more evidence-led and data-driven under Consumer Duty. Webinar poll results show confidence in outcome testing, but also gaps in recording, documentation and evidence across customer journeys.

Why ‘simple’ redress schemes require strategic planning
Redress schemes can look simple on paper but quickly become complex in execution. Strategic preparation helps firms manage scale, exceptions, governance and customer outcomes.

Turning motor finance compliance into an opportunity
Firms should treat the FCA’s motor finance redress scheme as an opportunity to prepare early, improve governance and build operational confidence. Portfolio assessment, data validation and workflow design are central to readiness.

The role of generative and predictive AI in wealth management
Predictive AI is suited to structured, repeatable tasks, while generative AI is better used for summarising and drafting support. Wealth managers need clear guardrails, governance and maintenance so AI improves efficiency without weakening accuracy or compliance.

Turning “no change” reviews into insightful compliance opportunities
No-change reviews should not be treated as low-risk paperwork. Risk-based checking, AI-supported review and evidence-led feedback can help firms test ongoing suitability and identify improvement themes.

Harnessing AI to transform suitability reviews into actionable insight
AI helps firms turn suitability reviews into clearer management information, evidence packs and action plans. Technology supports reviewers, while judgement about advice suitability remains with people.

Attivo deploys Recordsure’s AI technology to evidence its ongoing advice compliance and cut file review costs
Attivo has implemented Recordsure’s predictive AI technology to analyse files, flag higher-risk cases and focus skilled reviewers where judgement is needed. Early results include lower unclear suitability ratings, faster turnaround and reduced review cost.

Turning suitability reviews into a strategic advantage
Webinar polling and transcript material show how suitability reviews can reduce rework and improve adviser performance. FCA expectations on risk-based sampling align with TCC’s collaborative file review process.

FCA announces 14 million motor loan customers to be eligible for compensation
The FCA wants an industry-wide motor finance compensation scheme for customers treated unfairly between 6 April 2007 and 1 November 2024. Firms need to understand eligibility, deadlines and redress exposure.
