https://www.faisombud.co.za We’re not able to resolve complaints about advice given by independent financial advisers who are not representatives of Momentum. Momentum representatives operate under Momentum’s financial services provider license, whereas independent financial advisers operate under a different financial services provider license. Therefore, you must direct these complaints to the financial adviser, brokerage or the FAIS ombudsman directly.
