Lending and disclosure controls
Organise reviews of product terms, key disclosures, applicable APR workings and selected charges. Retain the policy basis and evidence supporting an exception decision.
Customer & financial crime
Lending & customer protection
Connect lending conduct, customer disclosures and complaint handling to accountable remediation.
PURPOSE & PRACTICE
Connect customer outcomes to the controls behind them.
Customer protection spans the product offered, the information disclosed and the response when something goes wrong. Teams need a joined-up record of the applicable policy, the issue raised and the action taken.
This module brings lending-conduct assessments, complaint governance and service-provider controls into related workspaces. It helps owners examine exceptions, document escalation and follow recurring causes through to corrective action.
Built around the work of
- Customer service
- Lending compliance
- Product and channel owners
CAPABILITIES

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Before you put it to work.
Does a workflow status prove that a customer was contacted?
No. Retain the actual communication or response evidence from the approved service channel. An internal assessment status is not a substitute for it.
How are repeated complaints handled?
Use the recurring issue to open or continue a control action with an owner. Keep the action’s evidence separate from the closure of each individual complaint.
