Financial Vulnerability Assessments
The Financial Conduct Authority defines vulnerability in terms of financial vulnerability, life events, health and competence. How do regulated firms’ embed vulnerability assessments into their operational processes that are proportionate and pragmatic? The PrinSIX platform enables clients to achieve both.
Financial vulnerability assessments have four steps
1.
Triage vulnerability
If there are no risk indicators, don’t put customers through an unnecessary or inappropriate assessment
2.
Understand the root cause of potential vulnerability
While the symptoms may be visible in customers’ financial circumstances, the root cause won’t be. Is a recent drop in income short term as the customer changes jobs, or longer term due to illness? That needs engagement with the customer.
3.
Understand at risk customer’s financial symptoms in more depth
Credit bureau and Open Banking data are the richest sources of insight.
4.
Mitigate identified vulnerabilities
Ddeliver the right solutions appropriate to each customer. Forbearance, payment holidays, product changes, signposting are just some examples of mitigations – but each firm will have different ways to protect their customers.
