Everyday finance

We regulate the conduct of banks and insurance companies. Most financial service providers must be licensed by the Financial Markets Authority. We monitor and enforce their conduct and the standards by which they operate.

These pages explain everyday financial services like banking and insurance, what conduct you should expect from them and what to do when things don't go as expected.
