  • Whilst we aim to resolve all complaints fairly and promptly, we understand that you may not always be happy with our resolution.
  • If you believe your complaint has not been satisfactorily addressed, you may wish to refer the matter to Financial Services Complaints Limited ('FSCL').
  • FSCL is a free and independent External Dispute Resolution service that deals with disputes between consumers and financial service providers that are members of the scheme such as American Express.
  • There are some matters that FSCL are unable to consider, such as:
  • Events that occurred prior to 1 April 2010
  • Where the loss claimed is more than $200,000

FSCL will usually ask you to contact American Express first to try and resolve your complaint. If your complaint remains unresolved they may then consider your claim.
