For all other complaints, the Bank will provide you with a response within 8 weeks since the receipt of the complaint.
If the Bank has not been able to resolve your complaint within the terms indicated above, or if you are not satisfied by the Bank’s response, you can refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
