Lending Decisions Are Quick to Make — and Slow to Evidence

Affordability, forbearance, the price cap, the Duty — the FCA doesn’t ask whether your book complies. It asks you to prove it, and the burden of proof sits with the lender.

Affordability Files Under Scrutiny

Motor finance and BNPL have put creditworthiness at the top of the FCA’s agenda. CONC 5 expects the assessment on file, borrower by borrower — “we checked” isn’t evidence.

Fin-Proms Approved on Email Chains

A promotion goes out; the approval lives in someone’s inbox. When the FCA asks who signed off the representative APR under CONC 3 — and when — the trail has to exist.

Breathing Space Arriving Unannounced

A Debt Respite Scheme moratorium lands and collections activity has to stop — interest, fees, enforcement, contact. If your process can’t show it stopped, on time, every time, that’s a breach in waiting.

Forbearance Without a File

Forbearance offered, vulnerability considered, a fair outcome reached — but CONC 7 expects each step recorded. When the arrears book is reviewed, if the file can’t show it, it didn’t happen.

The Board Report Built from Scratch

The annual Consumer Duty board report is a standing obligation, not a one-off. Assembling it each year from scattered MI and inboxes is a quarter’s work — and it shows.

The CONC Update You Missed

Policy statements, consultations and Handbook changes land weekly across 13 UK regulators — and lending is moving faster than most sectors, from motor-finance redress to the incoming BNPL regime. Missing the one that rewrites your obligations is how lenders fall behind.

The Lending Book, Covered — Check by Check.

Named chapters, registers, policy templates and filters for firms whose obligations run from creditworthiness at origination to forbearance in collections.

Dedicated Credit Chapters

E6 Consumer Credit — Lending & Broking and E7 Debt Management & Debt Collection put 30 sector-specific checks into your monitoring plan — E6 covering creditworthiness under CONC 5 and the HCSTC price cap, E7 carrying the collections side of the book: arrears, default and the Debt Respite Scheme. All inside the 1,139-template library.

CONC 2–8CONC 10CCA 1974HCSTC CapDebt Respite 2020

CONC Financial Promotion Register

A register variant built for the CONC regime: every promotion logged, put through maker-checker approval before it runs, and closed with a timestamped audit trail — so “who approved this, and when?” is one filter away.

Specialist Attestation Forms

CONC and Arrears & Defaults attestation forms test your lending and collections arrangements directly against the Handbook — guided question sets, evidence attached, sign-off recorded.

Consumer Duty, Evidenced

The A8 Consumer Duty chapter puts the Duty into your monitoring plan, and the Consumer Duty module turns the four outcomes into scored assessments and a 13-section annual board report — affordability and forbearance are exactly where the Duty bites for lenders.

The Four Outcomes, Assessed and Board-Ready

Affordability, forbearance and price-and-value are exactly where the FCA looks at lenders. The Consumer Duty module turns PRIN 2A into scored assessments, live registers and a 13-section annual board report.

Scored outcome assessments

The four outcomes, cross-cutting rules and wider areas — each scored against FCA expectations with a named owner and evidence, plus 54 questions per product.

13-section board report

Otto drafts all 13 sections of the annual board report from your attested data, flagging Urgent Board Actions as she goes. Humans own the sign-off.

Live Duty registers

Complaints, trigger events, adverse outcomes, root-cause analysis and vulnerability — each linked to named owners and attached evidence.

A8 in your monitoring plan

The A8 Consumer Duty chapter drops Duty checks straight into the Compliance Monitoring Hub — the Duty monitored on a cadence, not remembered in Q1.

The full Consumer Duty assessment, chapter by chapter: the four outcomes, the cross-cutting rules and the wider areas — governance, monitoring, complaints, foreseeable harm and vulnerable customers — each scored against FCA expectations with a named owner and evidence. For a lender, this is where affordability and forbearance meet the Duty.

Consumer Duty operational MI — Complaints, Trigger Events, Adverse Outcomes, Root Cause Analysis, Vulnerability and Gap registers

Every Consumer Duty register in one place: Complaints, Monthly MI, Trigger Events, Adverse Outcomes, Root Cause Analysis, Vulnerability, KPI Thresholds and the Gap Register — each linked to named owners and attached evidence, year-on-year traceable.

Fraud, AML and Sanctions — One Evidence Trail

Lenders carry the full financial-crime load — customer due diligence at onboarding, application-fraud controls, transaction monitoring and sanctions — alongside the MLRO’s governance calendar. One module holds the lot.

CDD & EDD registers

Every borrower risk-rated, review-tracked and evidence-attached, with next-review dates and sanctions/EDD flags — so no stale file waits to be found.

Fraud controls

Fraud sits as a regime in its own right alongside AML, sanctions and tax evasion — application-fraud controls documented, incidents logged, evidence attached.

Transaction monitoring

Your monitoring programme documented as a regime — scenarios, alert triage and disposition — with the trail that shows it runs in practice.

MLRO governance

MLRO oversight, the operating calendar, the business-wide risk assessment and a 10-policy library — the governance layer the FCA asks about first.

Financial Crime dashboard — Financial Crime Health score, live operations across every regime, KPIs, the MLRO calendar and review SLAs

The MLRO’s morning glance. Financial Crime Health score, live operations across every regime, KPIs, the MLRO calendar and review SLAs — the whole function on one screen, every weakness one click from the work that fixes it.

Customer Risk and PEP registers — risk-rated, review-tracked and evidence-attached with sanctions and EDD flags

Every customer, PEP and case in one register. Risk-rated, review-tracked and evidence-attached, with next-review dates and sanctions/EDD flags — so a stale file never reaches the regulator’s eye first.

Transaction monitoring workspace — the documented programme, monitored scenarios and alert triage tracked to disposition

Transaction monitoring as a documented regime: the programme, monitored scenarios and alert triage tracked to disposition — the audit trail that shows your controls run in practice, not just on paper.

FAQs

Consumer credit lenders. Questions Answered.

What a lender’s owner-director or compliance lead wants to know — from affordability files to forbearance evidence.

Which CONC chapters do the monitoring checks cover?
Two dedicated chapters carry the lending load: E6 Consumer Credit — Lending & Broking (CONC 2–8 and 10, the CCA 1974 and the HCSTC price cap) and E7 Debt Management & Debt Collection (CONC 7 and 8 plus the Debt Respite Scheme Regulations 2020) — 30 checks between them, from creditworthiness at origination to collections. Deep-dive chapters add around 15 checks each on financial promotions (A12) and the Consumer Duty (A8). E6 also covers broking — if distribution is your business, see the dedicated credit brokers page. All part of the 1,139-template library spanning 74 categories and 8 regulators.
How does the platform evidence affordability and creditworthiness?
Three ways. The E6 chapter puts CONC 5 creditworthiness checks into your monitoring plan on a cadence, with named owners and evidence attached. Policy Studio ships an Affordable Credit Policy — drafted, reviewed and operationalised, so your underwriting practice runs on a document that matches what you do. And the CONC attestation form tests your lending arrangements directly against the Handbook, sign-off recorded. When the FCA asks how affordability is controlled, the answer is on file — not in someone’s head.
What about arrears, forbearance and Breathing Space?
The E7 chapter puts the collections side of the book into your monitoring plan — CONC 7 and 8 plus the Debt Respite Scheme Regulations 2020 — alongside the Arrears & Defaults attestation form and the Arrears & Default policy template. Forbearance offered, vulnerability considered, moratorium obligations observed — each step monitored, recorded and signed off in one programme.
How does the platform evidence the Consumer Duty for a lender?
On two fronts: the A8 Consumer Duty chapter puts Duty checks into your monitoring plan, and the Consumer Duty module scores the four outcomes, the cross-cutting rules and the wider areas against FCA expectations — 54 questions per product — then Otto drafts all 13 sections of the annual board report from that attested data. Affordability and forbearance are exactly where the Duty bites for lenders; the evidence is structured before anyone asks for it. Promotions run through the CONC financial-promotion register alongside, maker-checker approved.
Will we see motor-finance and BNPL developments coming?
Regulatory Intelligence monitors 13 UK regulators and carries a dedicated Consumer Credit sector filter, keyword-mapped to CONC, motor finance, HCSTC and BNPL. Otto reads each item against your firm’s profile and scores its relevance — so the consultation that rewrites your lending obligations surfaces at the top, not on page four.
What does Otto actually draft for a lender?
The Annual Compliance Monitoring Report, citing CONC among its 13 regulatory anchors; all 13 sections of the Consumer Duty board report; the MLRO annual from your live financial-crime records; and Affordable Credit and Arrears & Default policies in Policy Studio. Every draft is grounded in your live records. AI drafts, humans decide — nothing is auto-submitted.
