5. Roles & Responsibilities
  • 5.1
    Complaint Handling Procedures
  • Where YEELD may be deemed solely or jointly responsible for a complaint, it will apply the complaint forwarding rules (see section 5.7) to its partners namely , Transactpay, Integrated Finance and Bud financials.
  • If the Firm receives a direct complaint, it will apply the following complaints managing process for the reasonable and prompt handling of complaints.

    • Will acknowledge all complaints within 2 business days of receipt;
    • Deal with the complaint within two business days (where possible);
    • Fully investigate complaints;
    • Provide resolution where possible within 15 business days of receipt; any failure within this timeframe will have to be reported to Transactpay with notification of any development of the matter and the complainant must be notified and an explanation for the extension provided.

    Acknowledging a Complaint
  • On receipt of a complaint, YEELD will send the complainant a prompt written acknowledgement, within two business days, using the Acknowledgement Letter Template (see Appendices 1 and 2), providing early reassurance that it has received the complaint and is dealing with it.
  • 5.3
    Complaints Investigation Process
  • Where the Firm can resolve a complaint by a PSU within two business days, the Firm will send the complainant a 'summary resolution communication,' being a written communication from the respondent which:
    • The subject matter of the complaint.
    • Whether the complaint should be upheld or rejected.
    • What remedial action or redress may be appropriate.
    • Whether another party may be solely or jointly responsible for the matter alleged in the complaint.
  • 5.4

  • Where the Firm can resolve a complaint by a PSU within two business days, the Firm will send the complainant a 'summary resolution communication,' being a written communication from the respondent which:
    • Refers to the fact that the complainant has made a complaint and informs the complainant that the respondent now considers the complaint to have been resolved;
    • Tell the complainant that if they subsequently decide that they are dissatisfied with the resolution of the complaint, they may be able to refer the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service;
    • Indicates whether or not the respondent consents to waive the relevant time limits in DISP 2.8.2R or DISP 2.8.7R (Was the complaint referred to the Financial Ombudsman Service in time?) by including the appropriate wording set out in DISP 1 Annex 3R;
    • Provides the website address of the Financial Ombudsman Service [FOS]; and
    • Refer to the availability of further information on the website of the FOS.
  • 5.5
    Final Response
  • Whilst YEELD will comply with all relevant DISP rules and guidance, as best practice, the Firm will apply the more stringent Payment Services Directive (PSD) timeframes as specified under section 101 of the Payment Services Regulation 2017 (PSR's). Thus, YEELD will apply the following time limits to all payment service complaints, regardless of whether they are determined as eligible complaints or non-eligible complaints:
  • In exceptional circumstances, if a final response cannot be given for reasons beyond the control of the YEELD, the Firm shall:
    • The Firm will issue a reply to the complainant within an adequate timeframe and, at the latest, 15 business days after the day on which the Firm received the complaint.
    • In exceptional circumstances, if a final response cannot be given for reasons beyond the control of the YEELD, the Firm shall:
      • (a)
        Send a holding response to the complainant by the end of 15 business days after the day on which it received the complaint, clearly indicating the reasons for the delay in answering the complaint and specifying the deadline by which it will send the final response; and
      • (b)
        Send a final response to the complainant by the end of 35 business days after the day on which it received the complaint.
  • 5.6
    Complaint Forwarding Rules
  • Where the Firm receives a forwarded complaint, it will be treated as if it had received the complaint directly, and the same time limits will apply from the date on which the Firm has received the forwarded complaint.
  • The Firm may promptly forward a complaint in writing to another party where there are reasonable grounds to believe that the other party may be solely or jointly responsible for the matter alleged in the complaint. If a complaint is forwarded, the Firm will inform the complainant promptly in a final response of why the complaint has been forwarded to another party and provide the complainant with the other party's contact details. The firm will provide details of the third party that the complaint is forwarded to and notify the third party of the complaint received. In case of a complaint being forwarded to a third-party, the firm will record why the complaint is forwarded to the third party internally and ensure that a resolution is provided by that third party to the customer within the reasonable time frame mentioned in 5.1.
6. Record Keeping
  • YEELD maintains and records all complaints received within its Complaint Register. Records are to be kept for at least 5 years following the end of the business relationship, the last transaction, or complaint correspondence in accordance with applicable law.
  • The Firm also retains that record for at least three years from the date the complaint was received, in line with DISP 1.9. These timescales begin from the date the complaint was received. Such information will be used to inform senior management of the measures taken to resolve complaints (see section 9).
7. Root Cause Analysis
  • YEELD will analyse the information gathered during the complaint investigation to determine the complaint's root cause(s). The root cause(s) may be one or more factors contributing to the complaint.
  • Once the root cause(s) of the complaint is identified, the Firm will develop and implement corrective actions to prevent the recurrence of the complaint and to prevent similar complaints from occurring in the future. YEELD will also consider where the matter of the complaint may impact other PSUs and take steps to remediate this where necessary.
8. Complaint Reporting Rules/Complaints register
  • In addition to reporting monthly to Transactpay on the complaints received in the preceding month, YEELD will provide Transactpay/GFSC(If applicable)/ FCA(if applicable)/ All other applicable partners with a complete report concerning complaints received about the Firm's payment service activities on an annual basis. The monthly and annual report must cover complaints from both eligible and   non-eligible complainants, and the report must be set out in the format of DISP 1 Annex 1AD.
  • The relevant reporting periods are
    • Monthly reporting to Transactpay
    • A year immediately following the Firm's accounting reference date; and
    • A year immediately following 31 December each year if the Firm does not have an accounting reference date.
  • Reports will be submitted to the Transactpay/FCA(If applicable)/GFSC and all other applicable partners within 30 business days from the end of the relevant reporting periods through the partners reporting system or the appropriate section of the FCA's website. Yield will maintain a register that’s maintained by the COO and will contain:

  • Record-Keeping:
    • A report approved by the Compliance department must be filed and stored for future reference, should the regulator, TransactPay, or internal or external auditors ask for copies to evaluate the compliance function.
    • There must be a 4-eyes process for approval of the complaint report, ideally by 2 persons from different departments, or by the analyst or officer that processes the complaint and the Manager or Head of the Compliance department.
  • Immediate escalation to transact pay:
  • In the event of a serious or a complaint from a regulatory authority, this will be reported to TransactPay immediately by Yeeld. There may be cases which require direct escalation to TransacPay’s Compliance Team immediately.
  • The following are examples of when a Complaint should be escalated.
    • Violation of Law Complaint
    • Threat of Legal Action
    • Regulatory Authority or Scheme Inquiry
    • Threat of Violence or Bodily Harm
    • Systemic Errors impacting multiple accounts
    • Consumer Protection Authority Referral
    • Data Protection Breach
  • The email address for complaint escalations to TransactPay is complaints@transactpay.com.
9. Reporting to the Management Body
  • The Firm's management body will receive a complaint management report at least every six months. This will contain a summary of complaints handling and highlight significant matters. It will also include management information on the number of complaints being received, the number upheld, the redress paid, and details.
  • The management body will also be provided with an analysis of complaint trends and the root causes.
  • The Firm's management, including its compliance function, analyses complaints and complaint- handling data to ensure that the causes of complaints are identified and addressed.
10. Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS)/GFSC
  • If complainants are dissatisfied with the final outcome of the complaint, they must be informed that they could escalate the complaint to the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC) or to, at least, one alternative dispute resolution body (ADR) which is competent to deal with any disputes concerning payment services rights and obligations
  • Complainants can refer their complaint to the Financial Services Commission at:
  • Payment Service Team
    Gibraltar Financial Services Commission
    PO Box 940
    Suite 3, Ground Floor
    Atlantic Suites
    Europort Avenue
    Gibraltar
  • Or by email at complaints@gfsc.gi.
  • The following information shall be provided to the GFSC:
    • Customer name and contact details
    • Whether the customer is complaining on their behalf or on behalf of a company
    • Whether or not the customer is a payment service user
    • The identity of the payment service provider(s) that has/have given rise to the complaint of an alleged infringement of requirement; and
    • A description of the situation that gave rise to the complaint of an alleged infringement of requirement.
  • Before escalating a complaint to the GFSC, the complainant must exhaust the complaints procedure at Yeeld and TransactPay first.
  • Once the GFSC has received a complaint, the customer will receive an acknowledgement within 5 business days of receipt of the complaint. The GFSC will then assess whether the complaint raises any concerns regarding possible breaches of the requirements that payment service providers must comply with.
  • GFSC is not able to perform the role of an arbitrator, Ombudsman or Court. Neither are they able to provide complainants with legal advice. For arbitration, the customer should agree on an Alternative Dispute Resolution body to which both parties will abide by.
  • In the event that the customer is dissatisfied with the outcome and they wish to claim financial compensation, the customer should seek legal advice on pursuing the complaint in the Gibraltar Courts. Complaints to the GFSC must be submitted within 12 months of the date on which the customer first became aware of the circumstances of the complaint.
  • There is no charge for submitting a complaint to the GFSC
