We care about what you think

It goes without saying that at Bell Rock Financial we want to provide an outstanding service when it comes to moving money across borders for clients. While we take great pride in doing the best job for you, we understand that sometimes not everyone is happy.

But that’s ok too. We value your feedback, even complaints, because it gives us an opportunity to do what we do, better.

Working with an authorised electronic money institution, we have policy and procedures in place that allow clients and prospective clients to complain about the services that have been provided (or not provided) to them if they are dissatisfied.

What is a complaint?

You may have a complaint if you are unhappy with the provision (or failure of provision) of our services, or those provided by one of our suppliers, which has resulted in (or may result in) financial loss, material distress or material inconvenience.

We take every complaint very seriously and will resolve most complaints within three business days.

When making a complaint, please outline the following information:

• The date of the complaint
• The nature of your complaint
• The impact on you (personal client) / your business (corporate client)
• Your contact details
• Any additional information

What happnes when a complaint is made?

Additional complaint information and avenues for complaints

We work with an e-money and payments institution partner in providing you with our service, namely Currencycloud. This partner ultimately provides you with the payment and e-money REGULATED SERVICES in the UK, EU and US.

Currencycloud have certain obligations as regulated financial services institutions, including around complaints. We keep them informed of the complaints we receive from you regarding the regulated payments and e-money services they ultimately provide to you. They oversee how we handle complaints to ensure we do this to the standard required under the regulations.

However, if for any reason your complaint regarding your payments and e-money services has not been acknowledged or dealt with by us, or if you have concerns about the way it has been handled, Currency Cloud’s complaints information can be found here.

If you are in away unclear as to which of these companies you work with via our services, please let us know and we will inform you of who you should escalate you complaint to.
