The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada supervises all federally regulated financial institutions, which includes federally regulated insurance companies, for compliance with federal consumer protection laws, including the requirement to have a complaint-handling process in place. FCAC does not resolve individual complaints.
If you have a problem with a financial product or service, you may file a complaint with Securian Canada. If you are not satisfied with how your complaint has been handled, you can escalate the complaint to the following third-party complaints body:
