The Government has fundamentally reformed regulation of the consumer credit market, transferring regulatory responsibility to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) on 1 April 2014.<\/p>
<\/p>
The FCA requires payday lenders to carry out robust affordability checks, limits the number of times a payday loan can be rolled over to two, places tough restrictions on lenders\u2019 use of continuous payment authorities, and requires all payday lending adverts to include a risk warning and information about where to get free debt advice.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has given the FCA strong powers to protect consumers and to take action against firms and individuals that do not meet its standards. In 2018, the FCA issued total fines of £60 million.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p> On problem debt more broadly, the Government is implementing its manifesto commitment to introduce a breathing space and statutory debt repayment plan. The two polices aim to give people in problem debt the opportunity to take control of their finances and put them on a sustainable footing.<\/p>"}

Since May 2017, the major high street banks have been signed up to the Access to Banking Standard, which commits them to work with customers and communities to minimise the impact of branch closures and put in place alternative banking services.<\/p> <\/p> The Government also supports the Post Office Banking Framework Agreement which enables 99% of the UK\u2019s personal and 95% of the UK\u2019s small business customers to withdraw money, deposit cash and cheques and check balances at any one of the Post Office\u2019s network of 11,500 branches.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> While banks do have to comply with competition law, there is no specific regulation that prevents banks from sharing branches or other premises where their strategies align. The Government therefore has no plans to update competition law on this basis. Government does not intervene in these commercial decisions, but will continue to encourage banks to think creatively about how they can ensure that consumers can access a wide range of banking services on a sustainable basis.
