Barclays PLC increased its provision for potential motor finance customer redress to £325m after reviewing the FCA’s consultation CP25/27. The change adds an £235m charge that will be recognised in Q3 2025 and is estimated to reduce the Group’s CET1 ratio by about 5 bps.

The higher provision reflects the possibility that more cases could fall under the proposed scheme covering discretionary commission arrangements, the FCA’s proposed customer engagement approach, and a redress methodology that may lead to higher payouts. Barclays ceased motor finance lending in late 2019, and the FCA proposal would cover historical operations from April 2007.

Barclays states the final scheme terms remain uncertain pending consultation feedback and the FCA’s Policy Statement and final rules, currently expected in early 2026. The Group intends to make representations to the FCA, noting concerns that the proposed redress approach may not align with actual customer loss.

Barclays PLC는 FCA의 CP25/27 고찰을 검토한 후 잠재적 자동차 금융 고객 보상에 대한 충당금을 £325m으로 확대했다. 이 변화는 £235m의 비용을 추가하며 2025년 3분기에 인식되며 그룹의 CET1 비율을 약 5bp 감소시킬 것으로 추정된다.

더 높은 충당금은 더 많은 케이스가 재량 위원회 수수료 배치, FCA의 고객 참여 접근 방식 및 더 높은 보상으로 이어질 수 있는 보상 방법론을 다루는 제안된 제도에 포함될 가능성을 반영한다. Barclays는 2019년 말 자동차 금융 대출을 중단했고, FCA 제안은 2007년 4월부터의 과거 운영을 포함할 것이다.

Barclays는 최종 제도 조건이 현재의 컨설팅 피드백 및 FCA의 정책 성명과 최종 규칙을 기다리는 중에 여전히 불확실하다고 밝히며, 이는 2026년 초에 발표될 것으로 예상된다. 그룹은 FCA에 의견을 제시할 계획이며, 제안된 구제 접근 방식이 실제 고객 손실과 일치하지 않을 수 있다는 우려를 언급한다.

Barclays PLC a augmenté sa provision pour les éventuels redressements des clients du financement automobile à £325m après examen de la consultation de la FCA CP25/27. Cette modification ajoute une charge de £235m qui sera comptabilisée au T3 2025 et est estimée réduire le ratio CET1 du Groupe d’environ 5 points de base.

Cette provision plus élevée reflète la possibilité que davantage de dossiers puissent relever du régime proposé couvrant les commissions discrétionnaires, l’approche d’engagement client proposée par la FCA et une méthodologie de redressement qui pourrait entraîner des paiements plus élevés. Barclays a cessé le financement automobile à la fin de 2019, et la proposition de la FCA couvrirait les activités historiques à partir d’avril 2007.

Barclays indique que les termes finaux du régime restent incertains en attendant les retours des consultations et la Policy Statement et les règles finales de la FCA, attendus actuellement au début de 2026. Le Groupe a l’intention de présenter des observations à la FCA, en notant les inquiétudes selon lesquelles l’approche de redressement proposée pourrait ne pas s’aligner sur les pertes subies par les clients.

Barclays PLC hat seine Rückstellung für potenzielle Entschädigungen von Autokreditkunden nach Durchsicht der FCA-Konsultation CP25/27 auf £325m erhöht. Die Änderung fügt eine Belastung von £235m hinzu, die im dritten Quartal 2025 anerkannt wird und voraussichtlich die CET1-Quote der Gruppe um etwa 5 Basispunkte senken wird.

Die höhere Rückstellung spiegelt die Möglichkeit wider, dass weitere Fälle unter das vorgeschlagene System fallen könnten, das diskretionäre Provisionsvereinbarungen, den von der FCA vorgeschlagenen Kundenkontaktansatz und eine Entschädigungsmethodik, die zu höheren Auszahlungen führen könnte, abdeckt. Barclays hat die Autokreditvergabe Ende 2019 eingestellt, und der FCA-Vorschlag würde historische Geschäftstätigkeiten ab April 2007 erfassen.

Barclays erklärt, dass die endgültigen Systembedingungen aufgrund des Feedbacks zur Konsultation und der FCA-Policy-Statement sowie der endgültigen Regeln weiterhin unklar sind, derzeit für Anfang 2026 erwartet. Die Gruppe beabsichtigt, der FCA Stellung zu nehmen und dabei Bedenken zu äußern, dass der vorgeschlagene Entschädigungsansatz möglicherweise nicht mit den tatsächlichen Kundenverlusten übereinstimmt.

Barclays PLC زادت مخصصها للإصلاح للمستحقين المحتملين من عملاء تمويل السيارات إلى £325m بعد مراجعة استشارات FCA CP25/27. التغيير يضيف عبئاً قدره £235m الذي سيتم الاعتراف به في الربع الثالث من 2025 ومن المتوقع أن يخفض نسبة CET1 للمجموعة بنحو 5 نقاط أساس.

يعكس المخصص الأعلى احتمال أن المزيد من الحالات قد تقع ضمن النظام المقترح الذي يغطي ترتيبات العمولات الاختيارية، ونهج FCA المقترح للتفاعل مع العملاء، ومنهجية تعويض قد تؤدي إلى دفعات أعلى. توقفت Barclays عن تقديم القروض التمويلية للسيارات في أواخر 2019، وستغطي مقترحات FCA العمليات التاريخية منذ أبريل 2007.

تذكر Barclays أن شروط النظام النهائي لا تزال غير مؤكدة بالانتظار لتعليقات الاستشارة وبيان السياسة وقواعد FCA النهائية، وتُتوقع حالياً في أوائل 2026. تعتزم المجموعة تقديم ملاحظات إلى FCA، مع الإشارة إلى مخاوف من أن النهج المقترح لاسترداد التكاليف قد لا يتماشى مع الخسارة الفعلية للعملاء.

Barclays PLC 已将对潜在机动车金融客户赔偿的拨备提高至 £325m,此举在审查 FCA 的咨询 CP25/27 后进行。此次调整新增 £235m 的费用,将于 2025 年第 3 季度确认,预计会使集团的 CET1 比例大约下降 5 个基点

较高的拨备反映了更多案件可能落入涵盖任意佣金安排的拟议计划、FCA 的拟议客户接触方式以及可能导致更高赔偿额的赔偿方法的可能性。Barclays 于 2019 年底停止机动车金融放贷,FCA 提议将覆盖自 2007 年 4 月起的历史性业务。

Barclays 表示最终计划条款在等待咨询反馈以及 FCA 的政策声明和最终规则时仍不确定,目前预计将于 2026 年初公布。集团打算向 FCA 提出意见,指出拟议的赔偿方法可能与实际客户损失不一致的忧虑。

Insights

Provision raised to £325m; small CET1 impact of 5 bps.

Barclays lifted its motor finance redress provision to £325m, booking an incremental £235m charge in Q3 2025. Management attributes this to the FCA’s CP25/27 proposals, which broaden potential case scope and outline a redress methodology that could increase payouts.

The stated CET1 impact is approximately 5 bps, which is modest relative to a large bank’s capital base. However, the final cost remains uncertain until the FCA publishes the Policy Statement and final rules, expected in early 2026.

Key variables include the number of eligible cases under “discretionary commission arrangements” and the ultimate redress formula. Outcomes hinge on final FCA rules and any representations Barclays submits; actual financial impact could differ from the current provision.

Update in relation to compensation scheme for motor finance customers
 
Following the publication of the Financial Conduct Authority's ("FCA") consultation paper CP25/27 on a proposed Motor Finance redress scheme on 7 October 2025, Barclays PLC ("Barclays") has reassessed its provision for this matter as of 30 September 2025.
 
Barclays and Clydesdale Financial Services Limited ("CFSL") (a subsidiary of Barclays) recognised a provision of £90m in their respective annual reports and accounts for the year ending 31 December 2024. This provision (which was reassessed as at 30 June 2025) was determined based upon the information then available and estimated the potential impact of remediating any complaints CFSL has received and might receive relating to motor finance commission arrangements.
 
Taking account of the proposals set out in the consultation paper, Barclays has increased the provision recognised by Barclays and CFSL from £90m to £325m. The additional charge of £235m will be recognised in Barclays' Q3 2025 results and is estimated to reduce Barclays PLC's Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio by approximately 5 bps. The charge reflects the increased likelihood of a higher number of motor finance cases falling within the scope of the scheme contemplated by the consultation paper (which covers all discretionary commission arrangements),  the FCA's proposed approach to customer engagement, and the likelihood of a higher than anticipated level of customer redress reflecting the FCA's proposed methodology for the calculation of redress, which is less closely linked to actual customer loss (if any) than previously anticipated.  Barclays ceased lending in the motor finance market in late 2019, and the above estimates follow the FCA proposal that historical operations from April 2007 fall within the scope of the FCA redress scheme.
 
Barclays notes that the final terms of the compensation scheme remain uncertain pending responses to the consultation paper and publication of the FCA's Policy Statement and final scheme rules, which is currently expected in early 2026. Accordingly, the legal and regulatory outcomes and the nature, extent and timing of any remediation action, if required, remain uncertain. The ultimate financial impact could differ to the amount provided, which represents Barclays' reasonable estimate of the cost of redress based on the information available to Barclays, including the proposals as set out in the FCA's consultation paper, and applying a probability-weighted outcome that considers a range of scenarios.
 
Barclays is committed to providing fair redress to motor finance customers who have a valid claim against CFSL for loss. We are however, of the view that the scope of the scheme and proposed approach to redress outlined in the consultation paper do not accurately address actual loss (if any) suffered by customers and do not achieve a proportionate or appropriate outcome. Barclays intends to make representations to the FCA accordingly, to review the FCA's response carefully, and take such other steps as it deems appropriate to achieve a fair and just outcome.
