Vitality complaint process
We do all we can to get things right, all the time.
It's always nice to get compliments. So if you're especially happy about our service, or you have a suggestion on how we can make things better, we'd love to hear from you.
We're just as keen to hear about when our service falls below the very high standards we set ourselves - it helps us improve. Therefore, if you have a complaint, please get in touch.

What to do if you're not happy with the outcome
If you’re not satisfied with the result of your complaint, you have the right to refer to the Financial Ombudsman Service who provide an independent and confidential service that is free to consumers.

As long as you accept their findings, the Ombudsman’s decision is binding on VitalityHealth and VitalityLife. However, you are still able to take private legal action if you do not agree with their decision.
Our complaints volume
In the interest of transparency, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) requires all firms receiving 500 or more reportable complaints over a six month period, to publish their complaints figures.
Vitality treats all customer complaints seriously and works hard to ensure that we learn from them. We strive to understand and address the underlying cause of every complaint in order to improve the overall experience of our customers.
