What happens next
- Acknowledgement within 5 business days. We will acknowledge your complaint in writing, tell you who is dealing with it, and indicate when you may expect a substantive answer.
- Investigation. The complaint is logged, reviewed by a senior member of staff, and investigated in full. We may contact you for further information or supporting documents.
- Formal written response within 8 weeks from the receipt of the original complaint. If the complaint cannot be resolved within this timescale, we will write with an explanation as to the progress and the likely timescale involved.
- Escalation. If we are unable to settle your complaint, you may refer it to the Financial Ombudsman Service Cyprus (our home-state supervisor), and additionally — for matters arising under Greek law — to the Hellenic Insurance Brokers Association or the Bank of Greece consumer-protection function.
