Complaints Policy

Whilst we take client complaints very seriously, we cannot address them unless we know about them. For your convenience, you can lodge a complaint with us by email, phone, SMS, Jacaranda Finance’s direct social media or through our website at any time.

We will confirm receipt of your complaint within 24 hours (one business day or as soon as practicable) of receiving it. Generally, we will be in a position to deal with the matter immediately. If we are unable to do so immediately, the matter will be referred to a more senior person. It is our intention to deal with all matters of complaint as quickly and as efficiently as possible.
