Complaints Handling Policy
1. Introduction
1.1. Revolut Securities Europe UAB (“we”, ”us”, “our”) is committed to provide its clients (“you”, ”yours”) with the best possible trading experience. However we realise that sometimes something might go wrong and you might want to raise a complaint. For such cases we have specialised experts ready to review each individual case.
2. How to raise a complaint?
2.1. Should you want to raise a complaint, we recommend using the chat function in the App. However, you also have the option to submit to us this form or to email us at [email protected].
2.2. Should you choose to send us an email, please remember to include your name and your phone number and the email associated with your Revolut account - we will need those details in order to localise you in our databases and to conduct our investigations on what went wrong.
3. What should you include in the complaint?
3.1. Besides the contact details referenced in point 2.2, in order to help you out and thoroughly review your case, we will need you to describe the issue in as much detail as possible. The information required includes:
- a timeframe on when did the issue happen
- an explanation on what exactly the issue is
- where relevant, the material impact to your financial standing
3.2. We also welcome any suggestions on how you would like us to put things right.
4. Timeframes
4.1. After receiving your complaint, which includes all the information outlined in point 3, we will try our best to revert back to you within three (3) business days.
4.2. Should you be unhappy with the proposed solution, or if we are unable to respond within three (3) business days, we will acknowledge the complaint within four (4) business days and we will aim to finalise the investigation within fifteen (15) Lithuanian business days.
4.3. After the mentioned fifteen (15) days period, we will either provide you with a written response to your complaint outlining our proposal of the resolution or we will provide a detailed explanation on why we are not able to provide you with a resolution yet.
4.4. Where we can’t provide with your final response within the fifteen (15) days period, we will provide with you the response within thirty-five (35) Lithuanian business days. We consider such a scenario as an extraordinary circumstance, for complaints of the highest complexity or for instances where our response will depend on the feedback we will be required to obtain from third-parties.
