Details

The Retail Banking Market Investigation Order 2017 (the Order) followed the Competition and Markets Authority’s (CMA’s) market investigation into retail banking.

From 2 February 2018, providers of personal current accounts must start to automatically enrol customers to receive alerts when they:

• have attempted to exceed a pre-agreed credit limit and could incur charges
• have exceeded a pre-agreed credit limit and could incur charges
• are at significant and imminent risk of exceeding a pre-agreed credit limit and could incur charges
• are at significant and imminent risk of incurring charges

These Directions ensure that TSB Bank fully complies with Part 6 of the Order by 30 September 2018 and compensates any of its customers who have been negatively impacted by its failure to do so earlier.

Update

2 November 2018: The CMA today revoked the Directions given to TSB Bank plc on 2 March 2018 on confirmation by the Bank that it had met the requirements of the Directions to the satisfaction of the CMA.
