What should you consider when filing a complaint so that it can be answered promptly and efficiently?
Please provide your full name and address. Furthermore please describe the reason for your complaint in as much detail as possible. If the complaint refers to a particular transaction, please provide all known details regarding that transaction.
For questions about certain records (e.g. account or securities account statement) please provide a copy of the record. If you have any suggestions for how we can eliminate the cause for your complaint, please let us know. If you would like to receive support from a third-party regarding your complaint, please complete a release from the bank's duty to maintain secrecy.

What will happen with your complaint?
We will investigate each and every complaint objectively and without bias. We will conduct the necessary investigations in-house, collect and review all evidence and information supporting the complaint and will base our conclusion on those findings. The complaint will be logged in our internal systems.
You will receive a response to your complaint in a timely manner. We will communicate with you in clear and understandable language. Please bear in mind that issues are sometimes more complex than they seem at first glance. In the event it takes us longer to address your issue or if there are unexpected further delays, we will keep you informed and give you our best estimate about when to expect a response. If we are unable to satisfy your requests or if we cannot satisfy them in full, we will explain our position in detail in our response letter.
