During winter 2019, FCAC engaged with seniors’ groups, financial institutions, and experts to identify banking challenges experienced by Canadian seniors. On July 25, 2019, the banking industry adopted a Code of Conduct for the Delivery of Banking Services to Seniors. The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) will monitor banks to ensure they comply with the Code. Should FCAC find that a bank has breached a voluntary code, it will take appropriate action as outlined in its Supervision Framework. (To read the full press release, click here.)

Québec’s participation in the development of this document was aimed at sharing expertise, information and best practices. However, Québec does not subscribe to, or take part in, an integrated pan-Canadian approach in this field and intends to fully assume its responsibilities for seniors in Québec."
