Treating Customers Fairly Policy

thequickfastsolutions.co.uk is committed to providing a high-quality service by working with our customers to meet their individual needs where possible.

As a business, we take the requirements of the UK's industry regulator the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), very seriously, in particular the requirement to treat our customers fairly. We strive to do this in everything we do. We undertake that all our actions will be guided by the principle that the interests of our customers are paramount.

Our systems and procedures are designed to place our customers at the heart of our business.

Our Principles

These principles have been designed to ensure that we behave appropriately and to ensure that we are, and remain, customer-focused at all times and act in accordance with our regulators' expectations. We are committed to providing a high-quality service by working with our customers to meet their individual needs. We will search our panel of lenders in real time to assist in identifying a lender that is interested in lending to you.

We will ensure that the service and products we provide are fair and appropriate to our customer's circumstances. We will always be diligent and work with our customers to understand their individual financial situation and needs. We will ensure that the products selected are in the best interests of the customer. We will ensure that our products and services comply with all regulatory requirements.

We will remain open with regulators. We will ensure that we provide all customers with clear and fair information which is not misleading. We will ensure that all our marketing products and services are clear, fair, and not misleading. They will contain information that is honest, helpful, and accurate. We will tell you about any conflict of interest that may arise between us as soon as we can, after becoming aware of this. We will be transparent about our services and relationships with associated partners or affiliates.

To re-iterate:

Treating customers fairly takes into account, not only how we use our customers' details, but how we deal with them at all stages of our business relationship.

• Customers can be confident that they are dealing with a firm where the fair treatment of customers is central to the business culture
• Customers will receive the best service possible and their details will be referred to a reputable firm that will look to provide them with a suitable product or service to meet their needs and requirements but only if the Customer chooses to take it up
• Customers are provided with clear and non-misleading information and are kept informed of progress as appropriate
• Customers receive a service that is of the standard expected by the regulators
• Customers do not face unreasonable barriers in their dealings with us and are provided with clear communication routes and the ability to make a complaint should our service levels fall below those expected

CONDUCT RISK – DELIVERING TCF THROUGH OUR BUSINESS

thequickfastsolutions.co.uk role is to introduce consumers to a product or service through its Broker Partners. thequickfastsolutions.co.uk recognizes that it must meet the FCA's principles for business in all its dealings with customers and trading partners to ensure that customers are treated fairly in the provisions of fair, clear, and transparent information, that does not mislead directly or indirectly by content, format or omission to facilitate them making informed choices when using our services or the services of any lender or other financial services or product provider to which we may introduce them to.

The following areas are where thequickfastsolutions.co.uk activities present particularly high risks and our controls and procedures to avert such risks:

Breach of Conduct of Business Standards for a Credit Broker

thequickfastsolutions.co.uk is a credit broker that makes introductions to providers of credit products and services to consumers. To ensure the interests of the customer are always put first, thequickfastsolutions.co.uk does not collect data from the consumer and will only display a selection of offers for the consumer to consider, without giving any guidance, advice and nor is there a bias towards any product or service offered by the Broker Partners. The service is provided equally and fairly to all customers.

Consumer Confusion about Credit Brokers vs. Lenders

An adverse potential confusion is a consumer understanding the difference between a credit broker, lender, and other consumer credit-based service providers. This generates a risk of unfairness and a lack of transparency as consumers may be confused and think that all promotions they receive are by direct lenders.

thequickfastsolutions.co.uk will mitigate this risk of confusion by ensuring all financial promotions clearly state that we are a credit broker and not a lender.

Financial Promotions

In order to introduce consumers to financial service providers, thequickfastsolutions.co.uk must make consumers aware of lenders, products, and service providers that can provide these financial services. Any entity seeking to become a Broker Partner must be authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority. All financial promotions will be reviewed and approved by the Compliance Manager prior to use.

This is version 1.3 of the policy. This policy shall be reviewed every 12 months or earlier, where any change in business or external environment requires it, to comply with rules or regulation changes affecting Treating Customers Fairly.
