Complaints policy

It is Davy policy to provide the highest possible level of service to our clients, subject to sensible and reasonable commercial constraints. It is inevitable though that from time to time some clients may be dissatisfied with aspect(s) of the service Davy provides and we acknowledge the right of clients to have any expression of dissatisfaction dealt with courteously, professionally and in a timely manner.
 

Our objectives are:
 

  • To address reported client dissatisfaction, quickly, effectively and fairly
  • To ensure a fair and equitable resolution to the complaint
  • To keep the client updated on the progress of their complaint
  • To maintain client confidence and respect
  • Where appropriate, to update our procedures and introduce corrective actions to avoid re-occurrence of any problems identified
  • To comply with our regulatory obligations in dealing with expressions of dissatisfaction from clients
  • To endeavour to achieve a situation where our client is satisfied that we have addressed the complaint. However if a client is not satisfied with our proposed resolution, to ensure that the client is notified of the right to refer the matter to the Financial Services Ombudsman or if the complaint relates to online sales or services of the right to use the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform.
     

Davy’s commitment to clients in relation to complaints handling is set out both in our terms and conditions and reads as follows:

We are constantly working to improve our service to our clients. An essential part of this continuous improvement process is feedback both positive and negative from our clients. We strongly encourage you to give this feedback to us. In particular should you be dissatisfied at any time with the service that you receive from Davy, do not hesitate to make this known to us. We have an internal complaints procedure and will deal with your complaint promptly. Please address your correspondence to Davy Dealing Desk or Davy Credit Union Support Team at Davy, 49 Dawson Street, Dublin 2, who in turn may refer the matter internally, which is independent of the Davy Dealing Desk. If you are not satisfied with the outcome of our review of your complaint, you are entitled to refer the matter to the Financial Services Ombudsman, the Pensions Ombudsman or the Pensions Authority, depending on the nature of your complaint.
