Handling of complaints

Hands picking red apples and putting them in a bucket
  1. How to make a complaint

    For us it is important that you as a customer are satisfied with our service and products. If you have a complaint, the simplest way to contact us is by logging into your Internet bank or app and leaving us a message (in the Internet bank, you choose Contact us in the top menu under the speech bubbles/Customer Service, and in the app you will find Customer Service in the top right menu). 

    If you lack personal service via telephone, please dial 0143-75500

    If you are not satisfied with the initial appraisal of your complaint, you can appeal the decision. 

  2. Appeals of complaints

    If you are not satisfied with the decision on your complaint made by us or the branch office and want to have your complaint reappraised, our CEO

  3. Dissatisfied with the bank’s final decision
