Making a complaint against a member of Nasdaq Dubai
If you wish to make a complaint against a Member of Nasdaq Dubai, in relation to services provided on or through Nasdaq Dubai, you should try dealing with the Member first. It is usually best to write to the Member so you have a record of what you say. Try to give as much detail as possible. Setting out your complaint in chronological order is helpful.
The Member should have adequate arrangements in place to deal with your complaint in accordance with the rules of their financial services regulator; this includes sending you acknowledgement of the complaint and an indication of the timeframe in which they will respond.
If you are not happy with the Member’s response, they rejected your complaint, or they did not respond within a reasonable time, you may refer your complaint to Nasdaq Dubai.
