Our complaints process

What happens when you first complain?

We will always try to resolve your concerns there and then. If this is not possible, we will fully investigate all the issues you have raised and aim to resolve them as quickly as we can, by speaking with you or writing to you. We aim to answer all complaints about a payment service within 15 calendar days. If there are exceptional circumstances beyond our control we may take up to 35 calendar days. If your complaint is not about a payment service we will provide a response within 8 weeks. Although we will normally be able to resolve concerns much earlier, on occasion if we're unable to respond within 8 weeks, we'll contact you with an update.

What can you do if you're not satisfied with the response to your complaint?

Where you are not satisfied with our final response or we fail to respond in the timescales above you can refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service. You may be able to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service before you receive our final response, we will let you know if this is applies to you. You have six months from the date of our final response to refer your complaint to them.
