The Buy Now Pay Later Code Compliance Committee (CCC) is an independent committee responsible for the administration and enforcement of the Code of Practice. As part of their role in administering the Code, the CCC will monitor and investigate a Code Compliant Member's compliance, and impose sanctions for non-compliance.
