Our Commitment to you
Tell us about your complaint
What can you expect after you make a complaint?
Greater Bank aims to resolve complaints on the spot wherever we can or within 5 business days. If we can’t provide a resolution on first contact, we’ll acknowledge your complaint has been lodged, provide you with a reference number and details of how to contact us about your complaint.
If we need more time to resolve your complaint, we may need to refer your complaint to our Customer Relations team for further investigation.
Our Customer Relations team will let you know they have received your complaint and investigate your complaint, in an objective and unbiased manner.
During the assessment and investigation of your complaint a Customer Relations Specialist will keep you updated on the progress and work to find a fair solution.
If we are unable to resolve your complaint within 30 days (21 days for financial hardship or debt collection), we will advise you of the reasons for the delay and the expected timeframe for an outcome to your complaint. We will continue to keep you updated on the progress of your complaint and provide you with contact details for the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA).
