star this property answer text There is an increased risk of fraud when banking customers use their debit cards infrequently, as some people may not notice if it has been lost or stolen. Therefore, banking providers often have processes to check whether customers still need a debit card if it hasn’t been used after a certain amount of time or ahead of the card renewal date. These processes are in line with the requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) that banks should maintain effective systems and controls to prevent the risk that they might be used to further financial crime. This includes controls to prevent fraud.<p> </p>Sometimes banks will require customers to complete a certain transaction to activate a new card. If customers are unable to do this (e.g. if they are vulnerable or shielding) then they are encouraged to speak to their provider who can help find an alternative solution.<p> </p> more like this

star this property answer text The way consumers and businesses interact with their banking continues to change, bringing significant benefits to those who choose to opt for the convenience, security, and speed of digital payments and banking. However, the Government also recognises that physical access to banking continues to play an important role in many people’s lives.<p> </p><p>Decisions on opening and closing branches are a commercial issue for banks and building societies and the Government does not intervene in these decisions. However, the Government firmly believes that the impact of branch closures should be understood, considered and mitigated where possible so that all customers and businesses continue to have access to banking services.</p><p> </p><p>In May 2017, the largest banks and building societies signed up to the Access to Banking Standard which commits them to ensure customers are well informed about branch closures, the bank’s reasons for closure and options for continued access to banking services. Guidance from the Financial Conduct Authority also ensures firms carefully consider the impact of branch closures on customers’ needs and consider possible alternative access arrangements.</p><p> </p><p>Alternative options for access can be via telephone banking, through digital means, such as mobile or online banking, or via the Post Office. The Post Office Banking Framework allows 99% of personal banking customers and 95% of business to deposit cheques, check their balance and withdraw and deposit cash at 11,500 Post Office branches in the UK.</p>

star this property answer text The requirements relating to lending beyond retirement age aim to protect consumers from carrying unaffordable debt into retirement. Where older consumers have the means to support repayments (as many do through employment, pensions, or other sources of income such as investments) the rules do not prevent them from accessing mortgages.<p> </p>The Equalities Act (2010) allows financial services providers, including mortgage lenders, to use an individual’s age in designing, pricing and offering products. This includes allowing lenders to set age limits on customers to whom they will lend. The Government believes that it is important for financial services companies to be able to factor in a person’s age in their assessment of risk, pricing, and willingness to lend if there is evidence to justify the different treatment.<p> </p>However, the Government is clear that mortgage lenders should not discriminate against borrowers due to their age, if they are able to demonstrate they can repay their mortgage over the course of a term and based on their income. The Government has worked with industry to ensure that products are available for older borrowers including the introduction of the Retirement Interest Only (RIO) mortgage, and the availability of Lifetime Equity Release products.<p> </p>
