The Financial Conduct Authority has fined Lloyds Banking Group’s insurance arm more than £90m for misleading customers in home insurance renewal communications between 2009 and 2017.

The City watchdog said it was levying the £90.6m fine “for failing to ensure that language contained within millions of home insurance renewals communications was clear, fair and not misleading”.
