The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) require firms to publish a summary of their complaints data when 500 or more complaints are received in a 6 month period. This is to allow for comparisons to be made with other financial services providers as all information must be provided in a consistent way.
As with other firms and to be transparent we share our complaint volumes every half year in line with Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulations. To put our volumes into context, we receive just 1.91 complaints per 1,000 banking accounts and 2.25 complaints per 1,000 home finance accounts.
