How the FCA Ruling is a Catalyst for Transformation  

ByNilesh Chavda

The recent ruling by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Supreme Court has set a new direction for the lending and leasing industry. For many businesses, a reactive wait-and-see approach is the highest risk strategy. True resilience comes from being ready for change, and a proactive response is now an urgent imperative. At VIP Apps Consulting, we believe this moment is a catalyst for overdue transformation. The ruling highlights a need for greater transparency and trust with consumers, which in effective will be driven by a thoughtful KYC strategy. This is the moment to build a stronger, more resilient business for the future. 

3 Key Actions for Lending and Leasing Leaders 

  • Prioritise Customer Satisfaction: Prepare your customer service channels to handle the likely surge in calls, emails, and messages. You need a consistent and empathetic approach to maintain a positive brand reputation and build trust during this period. 

  • Conduct Proactive Communication: Build trust and show transparency by conducting thoughtful outreach to your customers before they feel the need to contact you. This proactive communication builds goodwill and shows you are committed to doing the right thing. 

  • Build Agile Tactical Tools: Agility is key. Develop compliant and effective tactical tools built with integrity. These solutions must solve immediate problems while also laying the groundwork for future growth and fitting into your wider strategic vision. Incorporate AI to manage customer service spikes and analyse inbound data for deeper insights.
