How we will handle your complaint
Monixa is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, and the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) has jurisdiction over our handling of complaints.
When we receive your complaint, we will:
- If we can resolve your complaint to your satisfaction within three business days, we will send you a Summary Resolution Communication (SRC) confirming the outcome.
- If your complaint is not resolved within three business days, we will send you an Acknowledgement Letter. We will send this within five business days of receiving your complaint. It will include:
- the contact information for the team handling your complaint
- an overview of your complaint as we interpret it, and
- an outline of the complaints process and timelines involved
- We will then conduct a comprehensive investigation into your complaints. While we're allowed eight weeks to investigate your complaint and provide a written response, we always aim to resolve our complaints within four weeks if possible.
- Once we have finished our investigation, we will provide you with a Final Response Letter (FRL). This will be sent in writing (via email) and will include a summary of our findings and our decision. Our response will also include details on your escalation rights, which may vary depending on the content of your complaint.
Your Financial Ombudsman Service rights
When we send you any letters in relation to your complaint (SRC, Acknowledgment, FRL), these will include details about your rights to refer the matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).
You can refer your complaint to the FOS if you are unhappy with our response. This is a free, independent service.
Please note that to preserve your right to the FOS, you must do so within six months of the date on the SRC or FRL.
