Dispute Resolution for Individual Consumers (Retail / Business customers)

As an individual consumer using the Open Finance platform, if you encounter a dispute related to transactions, fraud, data inaccuracies, or product issues, here's how you should proceed:

Step 1: Contact Your Provider First

Your primary point of contact for any disputes should be the relevant party, i.e. your Third Party (AlTareq) service provider, your bank, your insurance company or your exchange house. These companies are responsible for resolving their customers' disputes internally, following their own procedures where they are at fault and then raising disputes via Nebras if this is required, if the fault lies with another AlTareq participant.

Step 2: Further Action (if dissatisfied)

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of the dispute resolution through your bank, insurance company, exchange house, or Third Party (AlTareq) service provider, you have an additional option:

  • You can raise your case to Sanadak, the Emirates Authority for Consumer Protection, they canreview your case further. You can find more information on their website:Sanadak
steps to raise and resolve Disputes / Complaints

Step 1: Contact the Financial Service Provider

If you have a complaint regarding a service or transaction, your first step should be to contact the relevant financial service provider directly. This could be either a Licensed Financial Institution (LFI) or a Third-Party Provider (TPP). Most issues can be resolved quickly by reaching out to the provider’s customer service team.

Step 2: Escalate to Sanadak (If you're covered by their services in the UAE)

If your issue is not resolved to your satisfaction by the Licensed Financial Institutions or Third-Party Provider, you can escalate your complaint to Sanadak, an independent entity dedicated to resolving financial disputes fairly and impartially.
