Treating customers fairly

Principle: We seek to treat customers fairly.

We seek to treat customers fairly in all interactions. We're committed to treating our customers fairly and being honest, transparent, appropriate and professional in all our interactions with them but we recognise that even with good intentions, issues can arise and so we have a clear complaints procedure if things go wrong.

We make sure that:

  • The information we provide is clear, accurate and easy to understand
  • We aim to give our customers the best possible service
  • We strive to deliver great service to our customers, so they're more likely to stay with us and recommend us to others
  • We strive to make sure that we conduct our customer marketing activities fairly and lawfully and that we respect their preferences

What you need to do

  • Be open, honest and transparent
  • Provide clear, complete and accurate information
  • Engage with customers about products and services relevant to them, and respect their marketing preferences
  • Make it easy for customers to contact us, and respond promptly when they do
  • Swiftly put things right if they go wrong
  • Communicate clearly and simply
  • Be consistent in doing what we say we'll do
  • Enable a fair outcome for the customer
  • Respect the privacy of our customers' personal information, and make sure it's protected
