Banks Must Refund Fraud up to £85,000 in Five Days, FCA Rules
In a major shake-up, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has announced that banks and other financial institutions must now refund customers who have been victims of fraud up to £85,000 within a five-day timeframe.
The new rule, which comes into effect immediately, aims to protect consumers from the financial and emotional distress caused by fraudulent activities. Under the previous system, customers who were victims of fraud were often left waiting for weeks or even months to receive their refunds.
"This is a major victory for consumers," said Andrew Bailey, CEO of the FCA. "We have been working tirelessly to ensure that our rules are fair and effective, and this new rule is a clear example of that. We expect banks and other financial institutions to comply with this new rule immediately and to provide refunds to their customers within the five-day timeframe."
The new rule applies to all financial institutions, including banks, building societies, and credit unions. It is designed to provide a quick and effective way for customers to recover their losses if they have been the victim of fraud.
"This is a welcome development for consumers," said Martin Lewis, founder of MoneySavingExpert.com. "Fraud is a major problem in the UK, and it’s essential that banks and other financial institutions take immediate action to refund customers who have been victims of fraud. We will be monitoring the situation closely to ensure that financial institutions comply with this new rule."
