AVAILABLE FRIDAY 28th – CONSUMER DUTY PRODUCT INFORMATION DOCUMENTS FOR MORTGAGE INTERMEDIARIES
We are pleased to advise that as of today, mortgage intermediary partners of Foundation Home Loans can access a new set of Product Information Documents to support our joint aims of delivering better consumer outcomes, in line with the new Consumer Duty regulations.
Our owner-occupier products fall into 6 categories, and we have created a Product Information Document for each. When deciding what product to recommend to their client, Mortgage intermediaries can select the Product Information Document relevant to the product, to understand more.
These Product Information Documents contain information for intermediaries about the product:
- Characteristics and benefits
- Target market assessment and distribution strategy
- How it relates to customers with characteristics of vulnerability
- Our assessment of value
A full explanation on how we have interpreted the new Consumer Duty guidance to create these documents to support you, can be found on our blog here.
We have worked in conjunction with advice from IMLA, BSA, AMI and UK Finance to ensure that these documents comply fully with our responsibilities as a lender, and support everyone in the borrower journey in achieving the best possible outcomes for our mortgage clients.
All 6 of the documents are available at our Consumer Duty download page here >>
