However, the impact on communities must be understood, considered and mitigated where possible.</p><p> </p><p>The Access to Banking Protocol Standard commits banks to ensure personal and business customers are better informed about branch closures and the reasons for them closing, along with the options they have locally to continue to access banking services, including specialist assistance for customers who need more help. The Access to Banking Standard is monitored and enforced by the independent Lending Standards Board.</p><p> </p><p>The independent financial services regulator - the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) - requires firms to treat their customers fairly, including the elderly and the vulnerable, and has broad and robust powers to enforce breaches of its rules. The FCA’s Handbook requires firms to identify particularly vulnerable customers, and to deal with such customers appropriately.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 20/03/2018 15:41:06 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2018 answer text <p>Automatic enrolment has been a success with 9.4 million workers enrolled into workplace pensions since 2012.</p><p>Figures from DWP show that the largest increase in participation has been among eligible low earners, with 63% of these workers in the private sector earning between £10,000 and £19,999 now saving into a workplace pension – an increase of 43 percentage points from 2012. Workplace pension participation among eligible men and women has equalised.</p><p>We want to build on the increase in participation. The minimum contributions required under automatic enrolment will increase from the current 2% of qualifying earnings to 5% in April 2018 and 8% in April 2019. This will help to boost pension savings. DWP’s 2017 review of automatic enrolment set out the Government’s ambitions for future reforms to expand the policy.</p><p>We recognise the importance of financial resilience and have therefore been working to provide low-income households with products that make it easier for them to build savings outside of a pension as well, such as Help to Save and the Lifetime ISA.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 16/03/2018 11:27:31 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
