The Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA), a market conduct regulator for the South African financial sector, is creating a Consumer Advisory Panel (Panel) to strengthen consumer representation in the financial sector regulatory environment. The Panel will assist in protecting the rights and interests of financial customers and supporting public confidence and trust in South Africa’s financial sector. 

The FSCA is mandated to, amongst others, promote fair customer treatment by financial institutions, and to provide financial education and promote financial literacy. It has set the following strategic objectives:

1. Improve industry practices to achieve fair outcomes for financial customers
2. Act against misconduct to support confidence and integrity in the financial sector
3. Promote the development of an innovative, inclusive and sustainable financial sector
4. Empower households and small businesses to be financially resilient
5. Accelerate the transformation of the FSCA into a socially responsible, efficient, and responsive conduct regulator

To achieve its mandate and objectives, the FSCA is deepening its understanding of consumer views and perspectives. The Panel is one mechanism through which the FSCA will do so; others include direct customer-focused research, social media monitoring, and complaints monitoring. Consumer insights contribute toward enhanced policy development, consumer education initiatives, and regulatory, supervisory and enforcement approaches.  

The FSCA is seeking applications from experienced persons who can provide consumer-focused insights to enhance the consumer perspective in the financial sector and contribute toward improved customer treatment. This includes but is not limited to representatives of consumer associations and NGOs, consumer advocates, academics, financial literacy experts and members of the media. Applicants should have good verbal and written communication skills. Membership of the panel is not a full-time commitment. As set out in the draft Terms of Reference, the panel is expected to meet four times a year, to produce a report annually on its activities, and to provide inputs to the FSCA as and when required. 

The FSCA will be considering members who provide a suitable mix of representation relevant to South African consumer demographics.       


To submit a membership application, please submit your CV and motivating covering letter to In your cover letter, please provide reasons for your interest and skills/expertise that would further the Panel’s mandate.

- Requesting access to information from the FSCA which it reasonably requires to carry out its work

- Actively bringing to the attention of the FSCA issues which are likely to be of significance to consumers

DUTIES OF MEMBERS

To submit a membership application, please submit your CV and motivating covering letter to In your cover letter, please provide reasons for your interest and skills/expertise that would further the Panel’s mandate. The deadline to submit your membership application is 17 February 2023

The Panel is intended to comprise of experts and representatives who have strong knowledge and understanding of the financial customer experience in South Africa.
