AMI said the decision was the culmination of a two year journey to achieve a fairer outcome for mortgage brokers.
Robert Sinclair (pictured), its chief executive, said: “The senior management of the FCA listened to our logical arguments and agreed that these changes were sensible.
“We believe that these amendments to the funding of the FSCS should deliver a more balanced industry in the future.
“In resisting strong lobbying from the provider community, the FCA has stood up in support of smaller advice firms.”
