The challenges in consumer finance
The sector is currently experiencing the most comprehensive regulatory regimes ever relating to consumer finance, and the degree of regulation from the UK FSA, OFT and also Europe continues to increase. The cost of operation and the potential risks of fines from regulatory authorities is increasing at an extraordinary rate.
Given the mature nature of the UK market, the challenge of creating a growing income stream from a sustainable market share becomes increasingly difficult as the need to produce innovative stand-out products increases. These pressures clearly work against each other and mean that any product provider needs to be on top of their regulatory game to be able to focus on providing innovative products in today's market.
