Using the existing FCAC, rather than setting up a new agency, should however save time and money, said Saba Shariff, chief strategy, product and innovation officer at Symcor Inc., a business process service provider.She said it was very expensive for the U.K. to set up a new agency when it rolled out its system that cost hundreds of millions of pounds.
The budget said the government would release draft regulation on the measure in the coming months, but no target date for when the new rules might be in place.“At last, low- and moderate-income people are getting a break from corporate gouging," said leader Alejandra Ruiz Vargas in a statement.The budget said the government plans to negotiate wider access to low- and no-cost bank accounts, and have more services added to them.
