Introduction

The FSCA was created by the Financial Sector Regulation Act, 9 of 2017 (the FSR Act), which in summary – sets the objective for the FSCA to:

• Enhance the efficiency and integrity of financial markets
• Promote fair customer treatment by financial institutions.
• Provide financial education, promote financial literacy, and;
• Assist in maintaining financial stability.

The FSCA’s focus is on protecting customers against unfair treatment by financial institutions, and equally importantly on empowering customers to protect themselves by strengthening their ability to make informed financial decisions.

What is TCF?

TCF aims to be “a holistic and coordinated consumer protection regulatory framework that applies consistently across the financial services sector – and is tailored to address the specific conduct risks peculiar to the sector! The regulation on TCF ensures that fairness outcomes (as they apply to financial services customers) are demonstrably delivered by regulated financial institutions. Financial services providers should apply these principles at all times keeping the customer in mind.

Ness Consulting Services (Pty) Ltd (“Ness”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) adheres to the principles of TCF and ensure that our customers are served in a manner consistent with the TCF outcomes.
