The Banking Code Standards Board (BCSB) is a self--regulatory body that reviews and updates the voluntary code and checks compliance by member companies. It does not have the statutory powers of the Financial Services Authority (FSA). If a member is found to be in breach of its guidelines, the BCSB has the right to discipline it. This usually involves "naming and shaming" the lender in the media. [1]
