Our vision, strategic pillars and priorities are the strategic targets we set ourselves to help us resolve the thousands of complaints that are referred to us each year. They are supported by our service standards which are the practical targets we set to deliver the best service for our customers.
Our vision
To help customers resolve financial disputes, quickly and informally, and on a fair and reasonable basis.
Our strategic pillars
Helping us to deliver our vision, we have three strategic pillars. These pillars help shape our work and areas of focus, so that we can build the service our customers need and expect.
