Step 1 – Speak to your broker

Should you have a complaint, concern or inquiry, speak to your broker. Your broker works on your behalf and represents your best interests. They offer independent advice and understand the importance of insurance to your financial security and peace of mind.

Step 2 – Contact Ombudsman

If your broker is unable to resolve your dispute to your satisfaction, you should contact our Ombudsman in writing. You may contact the Optimum Insurance Ombudsman by mail, fax or e-mail at:
