The UK's financial regulator has issued a warning that banks and building societies need to enhance their support for customers affected by bereavement or those registering a power of attorney. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) emphasized that these institutions should do more to assist individuals in vulnerable situations. This call for improved support comes amid ongoing scrutiny of banks' policies regarding bereavement and power of attorney, as the FCA continues to investigate their practices in this area. The regulator's comments highlight a growing concern about how financial institutions manage sensitive circumstances for their clients.
