FCA publishes further policy statement on overdraft pricing and competition remedies

On 2 October 2019, the UK Financial Conduct Authority published a further policy statement, PS 19/25, on overdraft pricing and competition remedies.

The policy statement makes changes to the definition of ‘private bank’ in the Banking Conduct of Business Sourcebook. It also introduces a requirement for firms to publish a range of overdraft pricing information. Its aim is to increase transparency and raise awareness of a firm’s overdraft charging structures.
