Complaints data
Continually improving the service we offer and reducing the number of complaints we receive is very important to us. We regularly review the information we have about your complaints, which helps us to understand how we can make improvements.
What we publish
Every 6 months we publish the number of customer complaints we've received for the previous half year. We also put these figures into context using the type of products complained about.
Why we publish
The FCA require us to provide this information directly to them as well as on our own website, just as other firms have to. This data can be used as an indicator of how well we're serving our customers, for comparison purposes and also demonstrates the improvements we're making to reduce the number of complaints we receive.
