With the number of vulnerable customers set to rise as the cost-of-living crisis impacts people’s finances and mental health, many companies are unprepared to deliver the specific support vulnerable customers now need.

According to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), 27.7 million adults in the UK currently fall under the definition of a vulnerable customer. With this number increasing, what can businesses do to meet customers’ needs?

Join MaxContact’s Sean McIver alongside Helen Lord, CEO of the Vulnerability Registration Service, and Sandra Thompson, Founder of the EI Evolution, as we discuss how contact centres can support vulnerable customers during the cost-of-living crisis and beyond.
