Fair4All Finance is seeking a provider to research the provisions that retail banking lenders put in place to support customers through the financial shocks that they faced because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Broadly, this work should seek to detail the different support measures put in place, the customer demographics reached, and the impact these interventions had on customer financial wellbeing and overall wellbeing. The research should be framed around the different operational and financial implications it had for retail banking providers.

Insights from this work will be used by Fair4AllFinance and partners to inform how mainstream banks can take learnings from the temporary measures and best serve customers who are classified as financially vulnerable in the long-term. The insights will help to formulate recommendations at the product and policy level.
