Customer Support at Wynward

If you are not satisfied with the level of service you have received, we encourage you to give us your input and feedback.

Prior to reaching out, please have the following information gathered:

• Your policy number and / or claim number (if applicable)
• The name(s) of any employees or others involved, that you have spoken to
• The details of your concern

The first step to discussing your concerns would be to:

• Contact your Insurance Broker – they are licensed and ready to help you understand the Insurance process and will work with you to ensure that issues are resolved as quickly as possible.
• Contact your Adjuster (or Claims Examiner if applicable) – if a claim is involved, the adjuster will have first hand knowledge of the claim and can work with you to resolve the issues.

Secondly:

• Ask to speak to a Wynward Manager – If your concern is not resolved after speaking to your broker or adjuster, ask for your concern to be elevated to the appropriate Manager. Our Managers are committed to responding to you as quickly as possible.

Thirdly:

• If you have received a final position letter and are still not satisfied with the proposed resolution, you can contact our Ombudsperson for an independent review. The Ombudsperson’s role is to review customer concerns carefully and objectively, with the goal of finding a suitable resolution.
• Please note that the Office of the Ombudsperson will not review a concern that has not gone through Steps 1 & 2. All correspondence must be in writing.
