Affordability & Creditworthiness Policy Template Overview
The Affordability & Creditworthiness Policy Template aids compliance with the FCA’s consumer credit lending requirements. This template is essential for those providing regulated credit agreements, loans and/or repayment plans. FCA handbook module CONC 5 states that a firm must establish, implement and maintain clear and effective policies and procedures in relation to creditworthiness assessments. The policy must be established in writing and be reviewed on a regular basis.
The template also includes an easy to use Excel based Affordability Assessment template. It is an FCA requirement that firms take steps to understanding a customers’ income and expenditure. This template enables you to calculate a disposable income and to demonstrate your commitment to treating customers fairly.
