Our Customer Charter

Our 14 customer commitments.

This is a serious commitment and we want to tell you how we intend to deliver on it. Over the past year we’ve made some concrete changes to improve the ways we help our customers.

But we want to do more.

Our Customer Charter is based on the things that you have told us are important. We are committed to making those things real. We don’t expect to achieve all of them immediately, and we know that we have work to do, but we will be open about our progress.
