Whilst the principle of retail finance is very simple - letting your customers spread the cost of a purchase - the legal and regulatory side is quite complex. Failure to follow the rules could result in the Financial Conduct Authority fining your business or even banning it from offering retail finance.
This course fully explains the regulatory requirements, the terminology and the methodology needed to offer retail finance as well as how to optimise retail finance sales in-store and online.

This course is designed for all owners and employees in a business that either currently, or plans to, offer retail finance as a payment method.
The course will teach you how to legally promote and use retail finance in-store, online and in all other forms of media.
As well as covering the legal details this course also aims to make sure you maximise each sale using retail finance.
By offering retail finance to your customers as a payment solution your business has access to a significant part of the £86 billion* consumer credit market.

This varies by candidate and we encourage users to work at their own pace so each section is fully understood before taking the exam. To get to the section exam, all pages must have been read beforehand.
Progress is saved as a candiate works through the course, so they can log out and resume where they left off whenever is convenient.
Sections one, two and three of the course will teach you about the legal regulatory requirements you and your business must adhere to when offering retail finance to your customers. Following these rules are a legal requirement so you will need a 100% pass mark to proceed.
