FCA investigating insurance add-ons

Great that the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is investigating the UK's add-on insurance market. This is where a general insurance product (e.g. travel insurance) is sold alongside another related product (such as a passenger flight).

Earlier this year the FCA published the provisional findings of a market study that suggests there is a significant lack of effective competition in this market and that consumers are being overcharged.

Yet more proof of the need for robust regulation of the UK insurance industry.

    What a waste of time effort and money. typical FCA in all fairness
  • Kind of proves my point. With that kind of attitude no wonder consumers aren't getting a fair deal.
