MCOB 13.7.2GRP

1 Firms are reminded that in accordance with MCOB 1.2.3R, they should comply in full with MCOB, but in doing so may opt to take account of4 all tailored provisions in MCOB that relate to loans solely for a business purpose or loans to high net worth mortgage customers4. Therefore, a firm may only follow the relevant 4tailored provisions in MCOB 13.7, if it also follows all other relevant 4tailored provisions in MCOB. In either case, the rest of MCOB applies in full.4
