Client Protection Principles (CPP)
Client protection principles (CPPs)
The Client Protection principles (CPPs) have been created by the Smart Campaign and protect clients from unfair, non-transparent and unethical practice. These ensure institutions do not loan amounts that cannot be repaid or provide products people do not need. The Client Protection Principles cover:
- Appropriate product design and delivery
- Prevention of over-indebtedness
- Transparency
- Responsible pricing
- Fair and respectful client treatment
- Privacy of client data
- Mechanisms for compliant resolution.
The client protection principles have been integrated into the environmental,social and governance scorecard, which all new partners must endorse.
