Filing a complaint related to our regulated services
We provide the following electronic channels for Applicants to file a Complaint:
Complaints submitted via e-mail: the Client can submit a complaint by sending an email to dedicated e-mail address: support@request.finance.
Live Chat: Accessible on the website anytime via the chat modal, allowing clients to communicate with a customer support representative in real-time.
Complaints filed through these two channels will ultimately be directed to the Customer Relationship Management ("CRM") platform. A ticket will be created, and subsequent communication with the User will be done via email.
Applicants may file Complaints to the Company in any language supported by the CRM. The Company communicates with the Applicant, who has filed the Complaint in the language in which the Complaint was filed. This is subject to the condition that the Complaint is filed either in a supported language or an official language of the home Member State (Lithuania).
