What can make a customer vulnerable?

Determining whether a customer is vulnerable is a fluid process because there are many different forms of vulnerability. Any of our customers may become vulnerable at some point of their journey with us. From physical or mental health struggles to significant life events, age-related or language difficulties, there’s a broad spectrum of criteria that we’re ready to accommodate in our services.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) defines a vulnerable customer as “someone who, due to their personal circumstances, is especially susceptible to detriment”. It’s our responsibility to support all our customers and rest assured that we’ll strive to meet any additional needs you may have.
