We helped to achieve a successful transformation Programme through the following:

Regulatory focus initially targeted the ‘Big 4’ Banks, Lloyds, Barclays RBS and HSBC, who account for c.80% of all PPI sales. In recent years the FCA has investigated the second tier, ’challenger’ banks, with Section 166 actions, enforcement orders and even fines for miss-selling.

Topicas’s role

The Bank needed to bridge the gap between its own executive and management team and a number of potential solution providers. Who to choose? Who to trust? Who can deliver?

To complicate matters, the evolving nature of the Smart metering equipment technical specifications (SMETS1/2) means that meter and In Home Display manufacturers are playing catch-up with the standards which has a knock on impact on Energy Suppliers.
