Complaints procedure

we care what you think.

It goes without saying that at Ocean Capital Exchange we want to provide an outstanding service when it comes to moving money across borders for our clients. While we take great pride in doing the best job for you, we understand that sometimes not everyone is happy.

But that’s ok too. We value your feedback, even complaints, because it gives us an opportunity to do what we do, better.

As authorised electronic money institutions, Currency Cloud and Ebury have policy and procedures in place that allow clients and prospective clients to complain about the services that have been provided (or not provided) to them if they are dissatisfied.

We work with e-money and payments institution partners in providing you with our service, namely Currencycloud, Ebury, GC Partners, Equals Money & IBANfirst. Currencycloud ultimately provides you with regulated payments and e-money services, i.e. geographically or functionally limited elements of regulated payments and e-money services in the UK, EU and US. Ebury, Equals Money, GC Partners and IBANfirst provide you with regulated payments services in the UK, US, EU and Rest of the World. These partners have certain obligations as regulated financial services institutions, including around complaints. We keep them informed of the complaints we receive from you regarding the regulated payments and e-money services they ultimately provide to you. They oversee how we handle complaints to ensure we do this to the standard required under the regulations. However, if for any reason your complaint regarding your payments and e-money services has not been acknowledged or dealt with by us, or if you have concerns about the way it has been handled, Currencycloud’s complaints information can be found here.

what is a complaint?

You may have a complaint if you are unhappy with the provision (or failure of provision) of our services, or those provided by one of our suppliers, which has resulted in (or may result in) financial loss, material distress or material inconvenience.

We take every complaint very seriously and will resolve most complaints within three business days.

When making a complaint, please outline the following information:

The date of the complaint

On occasion, a complaint may need to be escalated and so the Customer Operations Team may extend the timeline to resolve the complaint by the end of 15 business days following receipt of the complaint.

In exceptional circumstances, where we are unable to issue a final response within 15 business days of receipt of the complaint, we have up to a maximum 35 business days from the date of receipt to issue a final response.

If a complaint needs to escalated or falls under exceptional circumstances, you will be notified by the Customer Operations Team.
