Financial resilience

Financial resilience is a person's ability to withstand financial shocks, such as a drop in income or an unexpected bill, without serious hardship. Low resilience is one of the FCA's drivers of vulnerability and a key thing affordability assessments try to gauge.

Signs of low resilience, such as thin savings buffers and volatile balances, are visible in Open Banking data and shape sustainable lending.
