Feedback and Complaints

In preparing this Policy, FBNBank has endeavoured to align our procedures with relevant regulatory and legal requirements as well as current best practice. 

This Policy is intended to address complaints made to FBNBank. 

An expression of dissatisfaction made to an organisation, related to its products, or the complaints-handling process itself, where a response or resolution is explicitly or implicitly expected
.

Any person or organisation (the complainant) who is dissatisfied with a product or service provided by the Bank, for any reason, may contact FBNBank to complain. A complaint may be oral or written. At times, complaints can be by way of negative feedback, which may not require a resolution or formal follow-up.  While this type of feedback is valuable, the Policy does not apply to feedback of this nature.

FBNBank seeks to maintain and enhance our reputation of providing you with high quality products and services. We value complaints as they assist us to improve our products, services and customer service.

FBNBank is committed to being responsive to the needs and concerns of our customers or potential customers and to resolving complaints as quickly as possible.

This policy has been designed to provide guidance to both our customers and staff on the manner in which FBNBank receives and manages complaints. We are committed to being consistent, fair and impartial when handling complaints.

The objective of this policy is to ensure:

  • Awareness on our complaint lodgment and handling processes.
  • That both customers and staff understand our complaints handling process.
  • Complaints are investigated impartially with a balanced view of all information or evidence.
  • Complaints are considered on their merits taking into account individual circumstances and needs.
  • Recognition of customers’ right to provide feedback and complain about product and services rendered.
  • All complaints are treated in line with laid down statutory and regulatory requirements.
