About this statute

This provision says the Regulation is meant to protect financial service consumers and applies to financial service providers and their representatives in listed financial activities. This article defines key terms used in the regulation, including financial consumer, over indebtedness, fraud, cooling off period, and complaint. A financial service provider must build consumer protection into its corporate culture. Financial service providers must set up governance arrangements that protect consumers, give the board clear consumer-protection responsibilities, and assign those responsibilities to a board committee; they may also create a dedicated consumer-protection committee. The board of directors, or an equivalent body, must oversee consumer protection for financial service users and approve related plans, policies, staffing, and reports.
