There are risks associated with sending confidential information by email – so please be aware that, if you contact us in this way, we may reply by post or phone.

Who will deal with my complaint?

In the first instance, your complaint will be handled by our complaints coordinator. If you are not satisfied with their response, you may ask to be referred to our Risk and Compliance team.

If you are still unhappy, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.

How will my complaint be handled?

We will try to resolve your complaint as quickly as we can, preferably within 24 hours. At the latest, we will acknowledge it within five working days.

Our aim is to put things right with our first response. Sometimes, though, a longer investigation is needed. In these cases, we try to complete our review within four weeks. If that is not possible, we will explain why – and let you know when you can expect to hear from us again.

We hope you will be satisfied with our response. If we do not hear from you within eight weeks, we will treat your complaint as settled and close our files. Should you tell us later that you are still unhappy, we will review it again.

The Ombudsman

Subject to meeting certain criteria, you have the right to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (opens in a new window), free of charge.

Although there are time limits for referring your complaint to the Ombudsman, we will consent to the Ombudsman considering your complaint even if you refer the complaint outside that time.
