You can complain about the service you receive from us, for example, about the way we have handled a complaint, or about the conduct of staff, including the Banking Ombudsman. Please be specific about your service concerns.
We cannot consider a complaint that is simply an expression of dissatisfaction with a complaint outcome.
Decisions are final and this complaint procedure is not an appeal or reconsideration process.
