COMPLAINTS POLICY



1. THE PURPOSE OF THIS POLICY

At Insaaph Capital, we’re committed to providing you with excellent service and treating all our customers fairly.

We know that your honest feedback is critical to developing a sustainable business, so we’ve implemented a complaints framework for you to let us know if you’re unhappy with our service or product.

We take all complaints seriously and strive to resolve them as quickly as possible. This Complaints Policy sets out what you should do if you have a complaint and what you can expect from us.

2. TERMS WE USE IN THIS POLICY

Complainant: The person making the complaint;

Complaints Officer: The person who is appointed or assigned to your complaint in terms of section 8;

Complaints Manager: The person who oversees the complaints process at Insaaph Capital and may be requested to review your complaint in terms of section 8;

Complaints Committee: The committee of senior management convened by the Complaints Manager, as and when required to resolve a complaint in terms of section 8;

3. WHEN TO QUERY AND WHEN TO COMPLAIN

Please submit a support ticket if you have a question about our products or services, require assistance with a support issue, need information about a transaction, or have a similar query and we’ll do our best to assist you.

You can formally complain under this Complaints Policy if you believe that we have contravened an agreement or law, have caused you harm, prejudice, or substantial inconvenience, have treated you unfairly, or if you would otherwise like to express your dissatisfaction about our products or services.

4. PHISHING AND FRAUD INCIDENTS

At Insaaph Capital, we empathise with those who have fallen victim to phishing attacks and other fraudulent activities. Phishing attacks are a growing concern amongst all financial services and across the internet. Since day one, we have been committed to keeping our customers and our platform safe from harm and take active steps to help protect our customers. We also strongly encourage you to find out what measures you can take to protect your account.

If you have been a victim of fraud, please report the matter by submitting a support ticket as soon as possible. We will do everything we can to assist you.

It is, however, your responsibility as a customer to safeguard your funds and not to click on any unsafe links or give out your personal information to anyone else. Insaaph Capital cannot be held responsible for a loss of funds where you have fallen victim to one of these attacks.

If, in connection with a fraud incident, you believe that we have contravened an agreement or law, that we have been the cause of your loss, have caused you harm, or your grievance otherwise meets the guidelines set out in section 3 above, you may lodge a complaint in accordance with this Complaints Policy.

5. WHAT TO INCLUDE IN A COMPLAINT

If you would like to submit a complaint, please include:

  • Your full names and, if applicable, your Insaaph Capital account information
  • An email address from which to receive communication about your complaint
  • A full description of your complaint. Please be as specific as possible. Your description must demonstrate how Insaaph Capital has:
    • contravened an agreement or law, or
    • caused you harm, prejudice or substantial inconvenience, or
    • treated you unfairly, or
    • dissatisfied you
  • Sufficient evidence, documents, correspondence, attachments, or other information to allow Insaaph Capital to respond to and/or investigate your complaint

If your complaint is missing material information, or your account of what happened is too vague for us to assist, Insaaph Capital will not be able to resolve your complaint and thus your complaint may be dismissed. You agree to cooperate with the relevant Insaaph Capital Agent, Insaaph Capital Complaints Officer or Insaaph Capital Manager to establish a full account of the complaint.

6. LODGING COMPLAINTS

    • You may request that the matter be reviewed by sending a written request to this effect within 7 days of receiving the Resolution Notice. You must include written reasons for taking the matter on review.
    • The review will be referred to the Complaints Manager for consideration. The Complaints Manager will acknowledge your request to review the matter within 3 Business Days, by email to the email address provided in your complaint.

    • If your complaint has not been resolved by the Complaints Manager to your satisfaction, you may be entitled to take external adjudicative action depending on the nature of your complaint.

9. EXTERNAL ADJUDICATION

Depending on the nature of the complaint, the country of origin, the Insaaph Capital entity involved, or a number of other factors, you may be able to approach an external adjudicator to review a decision made by Insaaph Capital regarding the outcome of your complaint. Before approaching a potential adjudicator, please allow Insaaph Capital to investigate and reply to your complaint first by following the process outlined in this Complaints Policy.

If there are external adjudicative options available to you, the Complaints Officer / Complaints Manager will do his/her best to bring these to your attention but this does not exclude you from taking any steps yourself. Please be advised that there might be deadlines applicable to filing any action or specific conditions which apply to your complaint.

10. LEGAL ACTION

We draw your attention to the fact that, if you wish to institute legal action against Insaaph Capital regarding the outcome of your complaint, you must do so within 1 year after the date on which the final decision is communicated to you by the Complaints Manager.
