How will we deal with your complaint and how long is this likely to take?

Within five working days of receipt of your complaint we will send you a written acknowledgment which will include the next steps we will take to resolve it. If we are unable to resolve your complaint within two weeks of receipt of your complaint, we will inform you of the causes of delay and indicate by when the investigation is likely to be completed and the complaint resolved. Your complaint will be dealt with confidentially and won't affect how we treat you in the future.

Taking it Further

• If we can't settle your complaint you may be able to refer your complaint to either the Office of the Arbiter for Financial Services or the Irish Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman. To contact the Office of the Arbiter for Financial Services you can write to them at: 1st Floor, St Calcedonius Square, Floriana FRN 1530, Malta, or contact them by e-mail at [email protected] or by telephone on +356 21 249 245 (Freephone: 8007 2366). The Office of the Arbiter for Financial Services will not be able to start reviewing your complaint until the payment of the case fee (€25) has been made.

• The European Commission also provides an online dispute resolution (ODR) platform which allows consumers who purchase online to submit complaints through a central site which forwards the complaint to the relevant Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) scheme.
