FairMoney and the CMA Final Report into Payday Lending
Fair price comparison sites are a force for good, says CMA
Payday borrowers will get a fairer deal from price comparison websites, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said today.
In a landmark report, the authority called for at least one price comparison website to show customers the true cost of borrowing from the payday industry.
The CMA has recommended to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) that accredited Price Comparison Websites (PCWs) should make the consumer loans market better for the customer. In addition to this, the CMA has also recommended that all online payday lenders register with at least one accredited PCW, so that customers are able to get a clear and informed choice
