FSQS Accreditation Renewed for 2024

We're pleased to confirm that we've successfully renewed our, FSQS accreditation. As a leading provider in the equity release market, this achievement underscores our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of compliance and service excellence. Our renewed accreditation not only showcases our effective audit process but also our competence as a responsible lender in the finance industry.

What is FSQS?

The Financial Supplier Qualification System (FSQS) is a rigorous accreditation tool used by major UK banks and financial organisations when selecting suppliers. It provides a standardised framework for gathering and managing supplier compliance assurance information across the financial sector. Find out more about our first accreditation here.

Why is FSQS Important?

1. Demonstrating Compliance

As the financial sector becomes increasingly complex, having FSQS accreditation allows us to demonstrate compliance to the organisations we work with. It provides a straightforward and easily understandable way to showcase our adherence to industry standards. For our registered equity release advisers, this means they can confidently recommend our services and products, knowing that we meet the stringent requirements set by FSQS.

2. Efficiency and Resource Savings

FSQS streamlines processes by enabling us to gather compliance information of suppliers once and reuse it across multiple partners. This not only saves valuable resources but also ensures that evidencing compliance is straightforward and efficient.

3. Risk Mitigation

By adhering to FSQS requirements, we demonstrate strong GDPR compliance. Our registered advisers and stakeholders can trust that we operate responsibly and transparently, making us a reliable lender in your customers’ financial journey should they choose to opt into an equity release plan.
