**THE ROLE**

Product governance is the process of creating, maintaining, and retiring financial products in a way that ensures the customer receives a product that is appropriate for their immediate and future financial goals. Product governance principles impose certain responsibilities on providers and distributors of financial products, including investments, insurance policies, loans, lines of credit, and bank accounts. At the core of those responsibilities is the principle that providers and distributors must treat customers fairly and provide good value throughout the product’s life cycle.
