Accessibility statement
We know things sometimes go wrong, so in this section you'll find out how to make a complaint and information on the number of complaints we've received and sorted out.

We hope you'll never need to make a complaint to Egg, but we want to make it as painless as possible if you do.
It would be great to be able to deal with your concerns straight away, but we recognise that sometimes we won't be able to. But don't worry. We have an internal complaint escalation process that fully complies with the requirements of the Financial Services Authority.

Contacting us
Let us know what we've done wrong or what it is that you're unhappy with. You can tell us all about it by:

  • Sending us a secure message (existing customers only), (After logging in simply select the option that most closely resembles your complaint).

    *There are sometimes more complaints closed than opened, why is this?
    The column entitled 'Number of complaints opened' shows the total number of complaints which were opened in the six month period. The column called 'Number of complaints closed' shows all the complaints which were closed in that same period and includes some complaints which were opened before this reporting period.

    ** Egg Banking plc has transferred ownership of its credit card accounts to Barclays Bank plc. Complaints related to Egg credit cards and related insurances received after 29 April 2011 are reported by Barclays Bank plc and are therefore not included in the figures above.

    ‡ Egg Banking plc has transferred ownership of its savings and mortgage accounts to Yorkshire Building Society. Complaints related to Egg savings and mortgage accounts and related insurances received after 31 October 2011 are reported by Yorkshire Building Society and are therefore not included in the figures above.
