Pending publication of the government white paper, we continue to take action within our own business to improve customer protection where the data suggests it can make a real difference.
To this end, we deploy our “Triple Step Affordability” which uses technology and algorithms to monitor and evaluate individual behaviors to ensure that customers do not spend more time or money on our products than they can’t afford it.
