On May 14, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) updated its webpage on its July 2018 discussion paper on price discrimination in the cash savings market (DP18/6).

The FCA states that it is considering the responses to the discussion paper in the context of its broader work on assessing the role and impact of Open Finance and the role of a duty of care in its future approach to regulation, as outlined in its 2019/20 business plan.

In DP18/6, the FCA set out a range of options to address issues faced by longstanding customers in the easy-access cash savings market and stated that it would publish a feedback statement in early 2019. It now intends to publish a consultation paper or feedback statement in the second half of 2019, which will outline the feedback received to the discussion paper and its next steps.
