What to do if you have a complaint
If you are dissatisfied with our products, services, staff, or any insurance-related decisions, please contact us and inform us of your complaint. To ensure your complaint is resolved efficiently and effectively, it is important to follow the complaint-handling process outlined below.

We aim to resolve your complaint within 1 to 5 working days. If we cannot do so within 14 working days, we will escalate the matter to our Internal Disputes Team. A response will be provided within a maximum of 30 days from the receipt of your initial complaint.
