What is the Fair Conduct Principle?

Good outcomes for your customers

The fair conduct principle is the overarching principle of CoFI that a financial institution must treat consumers fairly. It is important that consumers get the financial products and services they need throughout their life, when they need them, and have trust and confidence these will do what they should.

The requirement to treat consumers fairly includes:

·        paying due regard to consumers’ interests; and

·        acting ethically, transparently, and in good faith; and

·        assisting consumers to make informed decisions; and

·        designing products and services to meet customer requirements; and

·        not applying tactics such as unfair pressure 

During 2023 Rosewill Consulting Limited are running a series of webinars on how to prepare your business for this licence. If you would like to register for the webinars, contact us on comply@rosewillconsulting.co.nz.
