MCOB - APRC, Shortfalls and Charges

The Mortgage Conduct of Business (MCOB) for the Annual Percentage Rate of Charge (APRC), shortfalls, and charges apply to home finance businesses.

The APRC is used to compare loans, and the UK mortgage regulations require its disclosure in all financial promotions. In the interest of fair customer treatment, disclosure rules also state that charges are transparent.

Our MCOB for APRC, Shortfalls & Charges Course explains the FCA's business rules for calculating the APRC and charges as well as dealing with shortfalls.
