Mortgage Credit Directive

Implementation

The UK is required to implement the MCD requirements by 21 March 2016. This requires the UK government to make changes to mortgage regulation in order to meet the requirements set out in the MCD.

Under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA), the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the independent regulator, has the authority to put in place, supervise and enforce a range of rules to ensure that firms act responsibly in their mortgage activities.
