Response to FCA announcement
28 March 2014
Resolution notes the FCA's announcement regarding a review of the fair treatment of long standing customers in life insurance. We look forward to receiving further details from the FCA.
We put all of our customers at the heart of our business and engage with them on a regular basis. In 2011, Resolution established Heritage, a standalone division with a dedicated management team specifically focused on meeting the ongoing needs of customers with legacy products.
An example of the benefits from this specific focus is the recent investments in the Heritage division, including the migration of our customers from legacy systems to a modern IT platform that will deliver improved customer service. The costs of these investments are borne by Resolution and do not fall to customers.
Life insurance has been and remains a highly regulated industry. It has undergone a series of independent reviews to ensure transparency and fair treatment of customers. We therefore look forward with confidence to working with the FCA once it issues official guidance.
