Filing a Banking-Related Complaint

As a customer-focused service provider, we work hard to serve you better.

As a customer-focused service provider, we work hard to serve you better. As such, we are pleased to introduce our complaints process to you, the consumer.

  1. Our team reviews the complaint to ensure all information and documents have been provided. If there is any missing information or documentation, our team will return this to you, outlining what needs to be included. You will then have 10 working days to respond, after which the complaint will be closed automatically. 

  2. Once all details are provided, we refer the complaint to the relevant financial institution for review and verification of the complaint data. In the event of the following, the complaint will be rejected and closed by the relevant financial institution:
    - A mismatch or missing information (consumer details/supporting documents);
    - Duplicate complaints;
    - The complaint is being dealt with a court of law; or
    - The complaint is outside the Central Bank of the UAE’s regulatory mandate.

  3. After completing the verification process successfully, the concerned financial institution will validate the complaint content. The complaint may be returned for closure if any of the following apply:
    - Missing details (consumer details / supporting documents);
    - duplicate complaints;
    - If the complaint is being dealt with a court of law; or
    - If the complaint is outside the CBUAE’s regulatory mandate.

  4. If the relevant financial institution validates the complaint, they must resolve it within 30 days. The Customer Happiness Team ensures that the relevant financial institution’s correspondence and final resolution are in line with the CBUAE’s regulations, provides updates, and ensures resolution of the issue.
