Vulnerable Customer Awards 2023
Now into their third year, these unique and very topical Vulnerable Customer Awards are the UK's only ones to recognise the outstanding efforts our financial services industry goes to to support their clients in vulnerable circumstances.
This year, more than ever, firms are under scrutiny to prove to the regulator that good consumer outcomes are embedded in the culture of the firm. These awards are the ideal opportunity to reflect, analyse and evaluate the processes, policies and practical steps that you and your firm have in place to support your vulnerable clients in achieving their desired financial outcomes.
Could you be a winner? Simply tell us your story in 800 words max and the judges will decide.
