HM Treasury and the FCA should also develop proportionate firm-level financial inclusion metrics.

Conclusion
HM Treasury and the FCA should also develop proportionate firm-level financial inclusion metrics. These should focus on the largest providers and on markets where exclusion causes the greatest consumer harm, such as contents insurance, affordable credit and access to basic banking services. They should be designed to identify whether progress is being delivered consistently across firms and sectors. (Recommendation, Paragraph 27) Voluntary action, pilots and the route to scale
