Gocompare has welcomed the Financial Services Authority's proposed guidelines for aggregator websites.

The FSA has written to price comparison websites to check whether they are treating customers fairly and in line with their permitted activities.

The letter highlights concerns the FSA has around the fair treatment of customers by the aggregators.

Gocompare chief operating officer Lee Griffin said the firm welcomed the review, and added: "Our number one priority is that customers receive the best possible service and we will study the FSA's recommendations to ensure that we are compliant with their guidelines.

"If this review leads to greater protection and clarity for all comparison site customers and forces sites to take a good look at their systems and processes to ensure they are treating customers fairly, then we fully support it."
