Complaint Handling
PLEASE SHARE ANY AND ALL OBSERVATIONS AND COMMENTS WITH US.
Regardless of our best intentions and efforts, smaller/greater difficulties may occur that can certainly be doctored with a bit of attention or by taking your observations and comments into consideration.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS COMMUNICATE YOUR COMPLAINTS TO US.
Reporting the difficulties experienced – in the form of comments, observations or complaints – is very important to us. This allows us to continue to guarantee the high standards of our services, to ensure that you remain a satisfied customer in all respects and that all our services meet your needs and demands in the long term. If you have any specific complaints, you may communicate these to us by the following means.
You may, of course, file your complaint both in writing and verbally, which shall be registered in our records. Our records are supported by a complaint management system which, at the time of the receipt of the complaint, records your data (name, address, telephone number, customer ID) and the complaint data (time of receipt, place of recording, description of the complaint, name the service concerned, confirmation deadline and method) and assigns a filing number to the report. The complaint management system records the investigation and result of the complaint in a verifiable and traceable manner.
YOUR OPTIONS
At bank branches
You may communicate your comments and observations in person, directly to our colleague, which complaint is investigated without delay and doctored as needed through instant measures.
If you do not agree with the reply given to your verbal complaint or immediate investigation of the complaint is not possible, we draw up a report on the filing of the complaint, which will be handed over to you at the bank branch if you have made your complaint in person.
We will respond to your complaint within 30 calendar days from the drawing up or handover of the Complaint Filing Report.
The addresses and opening hours of bank branches are available here.
Through the customer service call centre
The staff of the CIB24 customer service call centre await your call at (+36 1) 4 242 242 all hours of the day, investigating all complaints without delay and providing remedies with immediate measures as needed.
