What to know about Close Brothers claims

Close Brothers Motor Finance is a specialist lender, not a high street bank. It operated primarily through dealer networks and introduced finance to customers at the point of sale. Close Brothers was named in the original Court of Appeal judgment in October 2024 and is one of the lenders in scope for the FCA motor finance redress scheme.

Close Brothers has set aside £300 million for motor finance redress. Close Brothers estimated in April 2026 that the scheme as published would result in a pro-forma provision of approximately £320 million on a post-PS26/3 basis, compared to its existing IAS 37 provision of £294 million as at January 2026. The provision remains under review.

Named in both the Court of Appeal ruling (October 2024) and the Supreme Court judgment [2025] UKSC 33 (Hopcraft v Close Brothers). One of two lenders at the centre of the landmark ruling. Has suspended new motor finance lending while the review proceeds. Accepted the FCA's scheme in 2026 and confirmed it will not challenge.

Current scheme status
