Our commitment to you

We’re committed to doing the right thing by our members and we strive to provide the best banking experience but sometimes we fall short. When that happens, we want to know and one way is through making a complaint.

A complaint is when you tell us you’re unhappy about: 

  • A product or service 
  • A decision we’ve made 
  • How you’ve been treated

If you expect a response or resolution, it’s a complaint.
