First Response (3 business days)
Firstly, we ask that you try to resolve your dissatisfaction with your normal contact within Acetop or with our Client Services team by;

Formal Complaint (8 weeks)
If, after addressing the matter with your contact or our Client Services team, you remain dissatisfied with our response to your complaint or we are unable to provide you with a response by close of the third business day following receipt, all of the details relating to your complaint will be passed to our Compliance Department, who will investigate your dispute competently, diligently, and impartially.
Acetop will promptly send a written acknowledgement to you via email and may request additional information from you. We will keep you informed thereafter of the progress of our investigation of your complaint.
Please note that, as per the terms and conditions that govern our relationship with you, depending on the nature of the complaint, we may suspend trading in your account(s) while your complaint is investigated. We will notify you if this is required.
