Interest Rate Swaps: Natwest, Fair & Reasonable Redress
Natwest Bank in London has begun a direct redress program for those small businesses affected by several interest rate swap products. These interest rate swap products or structured collars were sold to small businesses as a hedge against any risk associated with the interest rate markets. The small businesses or unsophisticated businesses were allowed to purchase these products. The 2008 financial crisis caused many of these hedging products to be of little value against interest rate changes. Small businesses were left with a financial bill that was significantly burdensome.
Interest Rate Swaps : FCA Fair & Reasonable Redress
The regulatory failings of bank interest rate swaps have left thousands upon thousands of disgruntled customers looking for redress. Fair and reasonable redress, including consequential losses, by the banks and the FCA helps put customers in the same position they would have been in if the regulatory failings had not occurred.
The exact definition of fair and reasonable redress is malleable as it varies from case to case. In each case, the testimony of the customer and the evidence is reviewed by an independent reviewer to determine the appropriate redress. Therefore, when discussing fair and reasonable redress, it is important to have an understanding of basic redress and consequential losses.
