Sales-Compliance

Sales-Compliance and Customer Protection

In the insurance and banking sector, sales-compliance and customer protection go far beyond regulatory compliance – they form the backbone of trust and stability. When sensitive financial data, personal information and future security are at stake, careful monitoring is essential. Proper handling of compliance standards – from fair product advice to transparent disclosure – ensures that clients receive not only compliant, but truly client-centric services. In an environment characterized by complex regulations, heightened scrutiny and ever-increasing customer expectations, sound sales compliance practices will directly contribute to your reputation, strengthen your customers’ trust and ensure your long-term success.

Compliance in the world of sales requires adherence to a variety of regulations and best practices designed to ensure ethical behaviour, protect consumer rights, and maintain fair competition. Navigating this regulatory landscape is complex due to its numerous detailed requirements. Additionally, key considerations must be addressed concerning internal processes related to sales and the sales force to maintain integrity and assure business continuity. We support you in identifying all regulatory requirements based on your specific jurisdictions and business model. By addressing these compliance needs, we help you maintain operational integrity and ensure seamless business continuity.

All regulatory authorities within the financial industry have addressed product oversight governance (POG) to ensure that financial products are developed and managed in a way that prioritizes consumer interests and maintains market integrity. Product development, approval, distribution and review are main components of a POG framework which needs to be carefully structured. We assist in identifying and implementing these regulatory requirements, tailored to your specific jurisdictions and business model, ensuring your operations remain compliant and customer-focused.
