INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF YOUR COMPLAINT

The Financial Ombudsman Service offers a free, impartial avenue for resolving disputes with financial service providers. They will assess if they can handle your complaint.

If you choose to involve the Financial Ombudsman Service, please do so within six months of receiving our final response. Failure to do so within this timeframe may limit their ability to intervene.

The Financial Ombudsman Service can only intervene if we've had the opportunity to address your concerns first. Contact us initially, and we'll endeavour to find a resolution together.
