It is important to us that our customers let us know how we are doing. If you are not satisfied with the service you have received, we encourage you to give us your feedback through the following Complaint Handling Protocol. We want to ensure that your concerns are handled fairly and efficiently. Step 1 START AT THE SOURCE Raise your concerns with the person you are dealing with (e.g. your broker/agent/adjuster). If dissatisfied, ask to speak to their manager. Step 2 CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE TEAM If your concern is unresolved, file a complaint with the Customer Experience Team. They will open a complaint file and assign a Representative to investigate your complaint and provide you with a final business decision. Step 3 OMBUDSMAN If your concern remains unresolved after Step 2, escalate to the Ombudsman’s Office by submitting a written complaint. Step 4 EXTERNAL RESOURCES If you are dissatisfied with the final response of the Ombudsman’s Office, you may escalate your concern to an external regulator or dispute resolution service (e.g. General Insurance OmbudService). STEP 1 – SPEAK WITH A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE When you have a concern, we recommend that you start at the source. Speak to the representative of the department involved, for example your broker, claim adjuster, a manager or a supervisor. Please have all relevant information ready, including: details of your complaint; your policy and/or claim numbers; supporting documents; important dates; and the names of any employees with whom you have interacted. In most cases, your request will be resolved quickly and worry-free. STEP 2 – CONTACT THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE TEAM If your complaint is not resolved after completing Step 1, you can escalate the matter to our Customer Experience Team. What you can expect A Customer Experience Agent will speak with you to obtain relevant information and assign your file to a Customer Relations Representative for review. A Customer Relations Representative will contact you about your concerns. The Customer Relations Representative can give you an estimated time frame required to review your file. The Customer Relations Representative will conduct a thorough review of your file and the concerns you have raised and then provide you with a clear response explaining RSA’s position on the matter. Any further action that can be taken with respect to your concern will be discussed with you and/or forwarded to you in writing. If you remain dissatisfied with the response, the Customer Relations Representative can provide you with information on how you can escalate your complaint to the Ombudsman’s Office.

Please include the following information: summary of your complaint; list of all unresolved concerns; the reason your concerns have not been resolved during Steps 1 and 2 of the complaint handling protocol; any documentation and information that you would like to have reviewed; and your desired outcome. The role of the Ombudsman’s office is to conduct an independent and impartial investigation of your complaint. The objective of this investigation is to examine whether your file was handled fairly and appropriately. What you can expect The Ombudsman’s Office will work with you and RSA to try and resolve your complaint in a fair and impartial manner. For complaints that are not easily resolved or require a full investigation, the Ombudsman’s Office will provide you with a formal written response. A written response is usually completed within 30 business days; however, depending on the complexity of the issues and the case load, more time may be necessary to complete a thorough review of your file. You will be updated on the progress of your complaint if more time is required. When the Ombudsman’s Office has reviewed your complaint and provided you with a response, your file will be considered closed. Your file will not be reopened unless you can present new and relevant documentation or information for further consideration.
