What happens after you submit a complaint

Once submitted, we’ll do our best to resolve your complaint immediately. We always aim to address your concerns without delay, but sometimes it may take longer to investigate your case. If this is the case, here's what we'll do:

  • We’ll send you a written acknowledgement of receipt of your complaint within five working days.
  • We’ll provide you with the name and contact details of the person handling your complaint, and keep you informed of our progress to find you a resolution.
  • We'll resolve your complaint within 15 working days. In exceptional circumstances, such as if something outside our control causes a delay, we'll email you about what we're doing to find a solution and when you can expect to hear from us. In this case, we expect to find a resolution within 35 days.

What to do if you’re unhappy with our final response

If you’re not happy with our final response – or if we’re unable to resolve your complaint within 35 working days from when you first contacted us – you can bring your concerns to your local Financial Ombudsman Service. This is a free and independent institution that settles complaints between consumers and businesses which provide financial services.

If you’re in Ireland, you can contact the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman (FSPO):

If you’re in Finland, you can get in touch with the Finnish Financial Ombudsman Bureau (FINE):

Partners in Belgium can contact the Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA):

If you’re not located in any of the countries listed – but you’re in the European Economic Area (EEA) – you can refer your complaint to an alternative dispute resolution service. You can find more information about this on the European Commission’s website.
