But, with the FCA encouraging UK banks to offer users the option to re-confirm their consent by September 30, 2022, the clock is ticking for AISPs to roll out new processes. Coordination with banks, technical workflows, and user experience should all be top of mind…and communication with customers shouldn’t be an afterthought.

How to keep your customers up-to-date on changes
To help you clearly communicate how these changes will impact user experience for your customers, we’ve put together email templates to help you explain what’s changing, when, and what could happen if users don’t re-confirm their consent.
Note: These should be adapted to suit your customers, and it’s essential all customer comms are easy to understand. That means you should skip the technical complexity and avoid too much policy-related jargon. It’s also essential all comms are run by your internal legal and compliance teams to ensure you’re fulfilling your obligations.
