By GlobalDataThe general consensus from the seminar was that the recent FCA changes to commission models for motor finance have been a welcome change for customers and dealers.
To comply with the ban, finance firms have been negotiating alternative commission structures. Explaining the implications for Evolution Funding, chief executive Lee Streets says: “In response to the discretionary commission ban, we introduced two new prime pricing models. One is a fixed APR for prime customers, with no variable rate at all.
“The other is Credit Score-based Pricing (CSBP), which is a varying APR based on the customer’s credit score, unified across multiple lenders. We work with several different introducers, so in January we had to migrate over 2,500 dealer packages to one of these two options.”
