Dispute Resolution Policy

Introduction

At Stockspot, we are committed to providing high-quality financial services, maintaining the trust of our clients by doing the right thing. We take complaints seriously and aim to resolve them fairly, efficiently and transparently.

What is a complaint?

A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction made to us, relating to our financial products or services, or the complaints handling process itself, where a response or resolution is explicitly or implicitly expected.

How can a complaint be made?

If you are dissatisfied with any product, service or representative of Stockspot, in the first instance, Stockspot encourages you to address any issues directly with our Client Care team.

If you require any additional assistance in lodging your complaint, please make this clear to the Client Care team or contact us directly on the contact details below. If you would like to nominate a representative to lodge a complaint for you please send us a signed authority granting permission for the third party to act on your behalf.

If you need help making a complaint, please let us know and we will take reasonable steps to provide the assistance you need.

What happens when we receive your complaint?

When we receive your complaint, we will acknowledge receipt within 24 hours. We may need to contact you to obtain further information so that we have a full understanding of the cause of your concern. We will investigate your concerns and provide a written response to your complaint within 30 days. If there are complexities with obtaining information that make it difficult to respond within 30 days, we will write to you to inform you of the reasons for the delay.

In some instances, we may be able to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction within 5 days. In these cases, we will ask you to confirm that you are satisfied with the outcome, and a written response may not be required, unless you request one.

Still not resolved?

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint, or if you have not received a response within the above timeframes, you may take your complaint to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA). AFCA is an independent external body, whose role is to assist consumers and small businesses to reach agreements with financial firms about how to resolve their complaints. If a Complaint does not resolve between the parties, AFCA will decide an appropriate outcome. AFCA provides a free service. You can make a Complaint to AFCA online, by letter, email or by phone.

All complainants have the right to take their complaint to AFCA if you are not satisfied with our response.
