It is more than a year since the FCA took over consumer credit authorisation and it is clear they are open-minded about their future approach to supervision, be it either the current principle based or a more prescriptive approach.
Although the new rules do not take effect until May 2018, it makes sense to consider them alongside MiFID disclosure changes.
Suitability remains much the same as pre-MiFID II but there are some changes that firms need to be aware of.
