How do I file an official complaint?

Learn how to submit a complaint to CUSP and how we handle it under DFSA regulations.

Updated over 3 months ago

We’re sorry if you’ve had an experience that didn’t meet your expectations. At CUSP, we want every customer to feel heard and supported. That’s why we follow a clear process — set by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) — to make sure your complaint is taken seriously, investigated fairly, and resolved as quickly as possible.


How can you raise a complaint

You can share your complaint in the way that’s easiest for you:

Whichever channel you choose, your complaint will be logged and handled in the same formal process.


What you can expect from us

1. Immediate acknowledgment

  • If you contact us in writing, you’ll receive an automatic confirmation that your complaint has been received.

  • Within 5 business days, a formal acknowledgment will be sent, including the details of who is handling your case.

  • If your complaint is raised by phone, we’ll listen carefully, record your concerns, and send you a written confirmation so you know it’s being handled properly.


2. A fair investigation

  • Your complaint will be reviewed by a Complaint Officer — a senior staff member not involved in the issue.

  • They will gather all the facts, review the relevant records, and speak to anyone involved.

  • You’ll always know who is looking after your case and how to reach them.


3. A full response

  • Within 21 business days, you’ll receive a written response that explains:

    • What we found in our investigation

    • Whether your complaint is upheld (fully or partly), and why

    • The actions we’ve taken

    • Offer options if you’re still not satisfied — including escalation to the DFSA


If it takes longer

Sometimes investigations require more time. If that happens:

  • We’ll send you a progress update explaining why, and when you can expect the outcome.

  • If your complaint is still unresolved after 30 business days, we are required to notify the DFSA.
