We report all our complaints to the Financial Conduct Authority, just like every other financial organisation. If we ever get more than 500 complaints in a six‑month period, we have to publish the details on our website.
From 1 October to 31 March 2026, we had fewer than 500 complaints, so we didn’t need to publish anything. But because we want to be open about how we’re doing, we’ve shared the numbers anyway. You can see the full breakdown in the table above.
