Complaints Procedure

Insurance Partners Group is committed to providing its customers with excellent service, quality advice and products.

Step One                                                                                                                         
If you are unhappy with the service, advice or product provided by us, please contact your broker in the first instance to lodge a complaint with them.

They will acknowledge your complaint as soon as practical and try to resolve the matter directly with you.

Step Two                                                                                                                             
If you and your Broker can’t agree how to resolve the complaint, the Broker will refer it to Folio.Insure's Compliance Manager for an independent review in accordance with Folio.Insure’s Internal Complaint and Dispute Resolution procedures.
