Have a Complaint or Concern?

At Ecclesiastical Insurance Office, we take pride in our values of Truth, Trust and Teamwork, and providing the best possible service to our customers and the public. From time to time however, something can go wrong. If you feel there is a misunderstanding or that you’ve not been dealt with fairly, there is an industry-standard process in place to make sure your concerns are addressed. It is our goal to conclude your complaint within ten (10) business days. In the event you have a complaint, please follow the 5 step process outlined below:

  • Step 1

    Contact your broker

    Generally, most issues can be resolved promptly with a simple explanation. Contact your independent insurance broker first to discuss your concerns.

  • Step 2

    Contact your Ecclesiastical Insurance Representative

    If you feel your broker has not adequately addressed your concerns, contact your Ecclesiastical Insurance representative by phone, mail, or email. If you are not satisfied with the services you have received or the handling of your complaint by the frontline staff, you will be referred to the relevant department manager, who will review your complaint.

  • Step 3

    Contact our Corporate Complaints Officer
