Get in touch if you think a payment services or e-money firm hasn’t met its legal requirements to you.
Payment services firms, such as banks, credit card issuers and money transfer firms, must meet certain legal requirements. These requirements also apply to firms that issue e-money (such as prepaid cards).
These firms must:
- give you appropriate information about your transactions (for example, references to identify transactions, and information about transaction dates, amounts, charges, and exchange rates used)
- refund any unauthorised payments
- consider your complaints in a timely manner (in most cases, this means sending you a response within 15 business days)
If you think a firm isn’t meeting these legal requirements, call us on 0800 111 6768 or use our contact form[1] to get in touch.
If you think a firm has met these requirements but you’re unhappy with a financial product or service it's provided, find out how to complain[2].
What information to report
You should try to include as much information as possible, such as:
- your full name and contact details
- the name of the firm you’re reporting
- why you believe the firm has failed to meet its legal requirements
- any supporting materials, such as contracts or communications with the firm
