Banking Code

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Banking Code was a voluntary code of practice agreed by United Kingdom banks.

On 1 November 2009 the Financial Services Authority (FSA) Banking Conduct Regime commenced.[1] It applies to the regulated activity of accepting deposits, and replaces the non-lending aspects of the Banking Code and Business Banking Code (industry-owned codes that were monitored by the Banking Code Standards Board).

The Banking Code had also regulated legal liability of banks for disputed debit and credit card transactions. On 1 November 2009 it was superseded by the FSA Payment Services Regulations 2009,[2] amongst other things making banks legally liable for transactions unless they could prove that customers had authorised them.[3]
