COMPLAINTS INFORMATION​​

​

We hope that you always receive an excellent service from us, however if you feel that we have not met your expectations and would like to raise a complaint, please find our complaints procedure below:

 

We are your first port of call for any queries or concerns, including complaints. We will handle these complaints in line with our complaints process.

 

We work with e-money and payments institution partners in providing you with our service, namely Currencycloud, Ebury Partners, Equals Group PLC and iBanFirst. Currencycloud ultimately provides you with e-money and payments, i.e. geographically or functionally limited elements of regulated payments and e-money services in UK/EU/US. Ebury Partners, Equals Group PLC and iBanFirst provide you with e-money and payment services. These partners have certain obligations as regulated financial services institutions, including around complaints. We keep them informed of the complaints we receive from you regarding the regulated payments and e-money services they ultimately provide to you. They oversee how we handle complaints to ensure we do this to the standard required under the regulations.

 

However, if for any reason your complaint regarding your payments and e-money services has not been acknowledged or dealt with by us, or if you have concerns about the way it has been handled, please see below:
