FSCS customer leaflet

The FSCS customer leaflets below can be used in-branch and on your website.

We are happy to provide guidance on using our materials and you can email us at FSCSfuneralplans@fscs.org.uk with any questions you have about the designs. However, FSCS can’t provide sign-off for compliance purposes. You will need to speak with the FCA directly if you have any questions about compliance.

The materials use Open Sans as a font, so they can be edited without the need to purchase any new fonts. We recommend that all changes are carried out by a designer.
