Financial User´s Bill of Rights and Responsibilities

General Information

Project description

The Charter of Rights and Responsibilities of Financial Consumers is an initiative designed to counteract consumers' optimism bias and the information asymmetry that typically favors banks over users.

To address these behavioral and structural challenges, the initiative employs smart disclosure techniques, including the use of visual prominence and icons to guide users' attention when interacting with the document.

This charter is mandated to be displayed physically at bank branches, digitally on ATM screens via a scannable QR code accompanied by framed messaging, and is periodically sent to users via email to reinforce awareness and engagement.
