More information about making a complaint

  • What's a complaint?
    We are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which means we have a set of rules to follow to ensure we treat our customers fairly.

    As one of our customers, you have the right to express your dissatisfaction about our product or services. We as a company need to investigate your complaint and communicate our results to you within a set timeframe.
