AFCA has launched a series of videos featuring AFCA’s own people speaking their first language.

In each video, a member of AFCA's team explains how AFCA can help with financial complaints and how to get in touch.

The videos are part of a range of improvements to AFCA's multilingual resources, which now cover 20 languages and offer advice on how to resolve a complaint, what to do if you are in financial difficulty, and information for small businesses.
