RCS routes different products to different mailboxes rather than to one general address. Sending a loan query to the cards mailbox is the most common reason for a slow reply, so match the mailbox to the product you actually hold.
What this organisation provides
RCS issues revolving store credit accounts used at partner retailers, its own branded credit card, and personal loans. It also sells insurance products attached to those credit accounts, which is why claims and policy queries have their own mailboxes separate from account servicing. Because RCS is both a registered credit provider and a licensed financial services provider, credit account disputes and insurance disputes follow slightly different escalation paths, set out below.
An online self-service area on the RCS site lets existing customers register and log in to view balances and statements. RCS points customers to that login before the call centre for routine balance and statement requests.
Address and operating information
RCS does not publish a street address or call centre operating hours on its public contact page. What it does publish are its regulatory registrations – NCRCP 38 as a credit provider and FSP 44481 as a financial services provider – which are the details you need when lodging a formal complaint with a regulator or ombud, since both will ask which registered entity you are complaining about. The fraud and investigations line carries a Cape Town dialling code, 021, which is consistent with the group being administered from the Western Cape.
Support and escalation routes
Report suspected fraud or a scam involving RCS directly to its investigations team rather than through general customer service:
- Fraud and investigations: 021 597 4970 or [email protected]
- Whistleblower reports: [email protected]
- Compliance: [email protected]
- Legal: [email protected]
If RCS does not resolve a complaint, RCS itself directs customers to the National Financial Ombud Scheme, which covers banking, credit, life and non-life insurance disputes:
- National Financial Ombud Scheme: 0860 800 900
- Email: [email protected]
Lodge the complaint with RCS first and keep the reference number. The ombud will ask for evidence that the provider had an opportunity to resolve the matter.
