The time to act is now: FCA Financial Lives Survey

A total of 19,145 respondents completed the FCA’s Financial Lives Survey (2022) to compare how UK adults’ product holdings, finances and experiences have changed over the previous five year period.

The report highlights the financial pressures facing UK consumers and the need for innovation to enable the credit market to support those under increasing financial pressure.

77% (40.9m) of UK adults felt that the burden of keeping up with their domestic bills and credit commitments had increased

70% (37.1m) had seen their financial situations worsen

71% (36.9m) either had no disposable income (15%) or had seen their disposable income decrease (56%)

29% (15.3m) had seen their unsecured debt increase

Other affordability assessments don’t cut it

Traditional approaches to assessing affordability are incomplete and add friction to the consumer journey. To automate affordability, lenders are forced to rely on self-declared income, Open Banking, Current Account Turnover Data (CATO) and ONS expenditure estimates. Our Affordability Engine can be a standalone service but also helps you make the most of your existing affordability tools.
