We must seek to resolve all complaints with clients.
If the complaint has been resolved to the complainant’s satisfaction within 5 business days, the
complaint’s procedure need not apply however a record should be kept of this.
The point of contact for complaints is Ken Neiland. Ken is the person responsible for
handling complaints as he has the authority to settle complaints (including, where appropriate, the
offering of redress). As director of the company he has seniority and competence within the firm to ensure
that the necessary requirements are closely adhered to in following the Central Bank of Ireland’s complaints

of no greater than 20 business days starting from the date on which the complaint is made.

Where the 40 business days have elapsed and the complaint remains unresolved, we will inform the complainant of the anticipated time frame within which we hope to resolve the complaint and of the consumer’s right to refer the matter to the Financial Services Ombudsman or the Pensions Ombudsman, where relevant. We will provide the consumer which the contact details of such Ombudsman.
As soon as the investigation has been completed, we will write to the complainant within 5 business
days to advise of our conclusions. Details of the terms of any offer or settlement must be included in
this letter.
