Should you wish to complain we will arrange for your complaint to be investigated impartially by someone with sufficient authority. You will either be provided with an acknowledgement or if resolved within three days a summary of the outcome. We will also provide you with details of the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) who may be able to consider your complaint should you remain dissatisfied with our service. We will seek to resolve your complaint as quickly as possible but in any event we will either write to you within eight weeks detailing the outcome of our investigation or inform you that we need further time and why. You will be provided with this summary of this on request or when making a complaint.

If you are a consumer, as defined by your local regulator, and you are domiciled in the EU you may also be able to submit your complaint via the EU ODR (online dispute resolution) platform. This allows consumers to submit complaints to a trader based in their or another EU member state and is available at: https://ec.europa.eu/odr

Please note that if you are domiciled outside the United Kingdom, different countries have differing definitions of complaints and eligible complainants and differing complaints procedures and dispute resolution bodies. The relevant procedure is available in your certificate schedule but if you have not received it and wish to make a complaint please contact us and we shall provide you with the details.
