Treating Customers Fairly
We are committed to offering our customers the highest possible standards of service.
​
In so doing, we are pleased to support the Financial Conduct Authority’s initiative ‘Treating Customers Fairly’.
​
We recognise that both we and our customers have everything to gain if we look after your best interests and treat you fairly in all aspects of our dealings with you.
​
Our commitment to you
​
We will:
• provide you with clear information about the products and service we offer, including fees and charges
• ascertain your individual needs, preferences and circumstances before recommending a mortgage
• only recommend a mortgage that we consider suitable for you and that you can afford – and always the most suitable from the available options
• not recommend a mortgage if we can’t find one we consider suitable
• encourage you to ask if there’s something you don’t understand
• give you access to a formal complaints procedure should you become unhappy with our service
How you can help us
​
To help us give you the most appropriate advice, we will ask you to:
• tell us as much as possible about your income and outgoings, to enable us to properly assess how much you can afford
• let us know about changes that might affect your ability to repay a mortgage
• let us know if there is any aspect of our service, or of a product we have discussed or recommended, that you don’t understand
• tell us if you think there are ways we can improve our service
​
Through TCF, we aim to deliver improved outcomes for our clients.
​
Once we have completed our business together, and we have successfully arranged your mortgage and/or protection arrangements, we ask you to complete a short survey to give us feedback about your experiences of using our services.
