Complaints

CoinJar Europe Limited ("CoinJar Europe", “CEL”, "the Firm", “we”, “our” or “the Company”) believes that a transparent, fair and responsive complaints process is essential to nurturing customer trust and upholding our organisational values of integrity, impartiality and professionalism. We therefore foster a positive complaint-management culture in which every expression of dissatisfaction is welcomed as a valuable opportunity to improve our products, services and customer experience.

Approach

The Company adopts a Complainant-focused, transparent approach, and is committed to resolving Complaints by acting in a timely, fair, clear and constructive manner. The Company continuously strives to provide a high standard of services to its customers:

• The Company dedicates adequate resources to the management of Complaints.
• Complaints are investigated and responded to in a timely manner (no later than within the terms established in this Policy and applicable legal acts).
• Information provided by the Complainant is processed in full compliance with the requirements relating to personal data protection.
• All conflicts of interest are established and eliminated.
• The employees responsible for the handling of the Complaints have appropriate knowledge, competence and experience, as well as access to all relevant information necessary to deal with Complaints.
• All Complaints are accepted, and the Complainants are informed about the free-of-charge Policy.
• The Complaints received as well as the information on the measures taken to resolve the Complaints, are registered and stored properly and organised.
• Recurring and systemic Complaints are identified and remedied.
• Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman, as an out-of-court institution resolving disputes between the Company and the Irish based customer and other interested parties, including consumer associations, receives full cooperation from the Company.
• The Policy is effective and, if necessary, reviewed and updated.
• An appropriate internal information sharing system, ensuring an effective Complaints handling process, is in place.
• Accurate records are kept, and any required data is submitted to the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman and Central Bank of Ireland.

Our objectives are to ensure that complaints are handled effectively, promptly and fairly; that complainants always know where they stand; and that Complaint data feed directly into risk management, product design and staff training.
