We’ll work with you to put things right
Over a twelve-month period we typically process around 2,932,000 individual instructions*.
We always strive to do our best for each and every customer, but sometimes things don’t go as expected. If you need to complain about any aspect of the service we’ve provided, it’s therefore important we respond in good time, and with professionalism and sensitivity.

Our commitment – we will:
- Ensure we pass your complaint/feedback to the right member of our team
- Get back to you as soon as possible to let you know what to expect next
- Provide you with the name and contact details of the person handling your complaint
- Listen to your feedback and see what lessons we can learn from it
- Provide you with an update on progress if your complaint is going to take more than eight weeks to resolve.
If you’re not happy with how we’ve handled your complaint
- If we’re not able to resolve your complaint about one of our products that’s regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help you. Their service is free, though you'll need to contact them within six months of receiving our final response letter.
- If your complaint concerns the administration of a personal pension plan and we’re unable to resolve it for you then you may wish to take it to the Pension Ombudsman. A complaint can be referred to them within three years of the event happening or within three years of when you first knew about it (or should have known about it).
- Our guide (see link above) provides further information.
