Additional customer support

We recognise that certain customers are at greater risk of poor outcomes when dealing with their finances and vulnerability can arise for a wide range of reasons. No matter what support you need, or situation you’re facing, we’re here to help in any way we can.

  • We promise to remain open and approachable, and to listen and respond to our customers with sensitivity and respect
  • We’ll treat every customer as an individual and do everything we can to understand and support their needs
  • Our policies, products and services will be regularly reviewed and updated, to help improve the overall customer experience
  • Our colleagues will be provided with the skills and training they need to support all customers
  • Our communications will remain clear, accessible and easy to understand
  • If further help is needed, we’ll signpost to other relevant organisations, such as charities and advice services
