Consumer Duty is part of the FCA’s ongoing efforts to further enhance consumer protection in financial services. Consumer Duty combines an overarching principle that a firm must act to deliver good outcomes for retail customers, with expected behaviours and a number of consumer outcomes financial firms must meet and be able to demonstrate, to ensure they are acting in the best interests of their customers.
At Curtis Banks it’s always been our mission to help our customers thrive in retirement by providing flexible products, innovative technology, and complementary services to meet their needs, whatever stage of their journeys with us, so the fundamentals of Consumer Duty are not new to us.
Target Market documents are designed to ensure that our products are targeted and advised appropriately, to avoid offering unsuitable products to customers.

We work hard to deliver the highest standards of service to you and your clients
