Aim

To resolve all disputes amicably through an informal and friendly process of reconciliation rather than a formal adversarial procedure. We cannot take sides.

Mission Statement

As an independent statutory body established to resolve disputes between consumers and banks, it has been our commitment to deliver free of cost, speedy solutions for all disputes referred to us, in a manner that is impartial, fair and equitable to all parties.

Core Values

We function as a closely-knit team and take collective responsibility for individual decision-making. We have full ownership of our Core Values and firmly believe that by abiding these values, both in our professional and personal lives, we can make a difference.

Responsive

We receive a large number of disputes daily. We use a practical and rational approach to find fair and amicable outcomes in a manner that is informal and speedy.

Compassionate

Disputes, howsoever petty, cause unnecessary pain and stress. We analyze each dispute with an open mind and if necessary listen to parties concerned, patiently and sympathetically, so as to find a practical and equitable solution.

Flexible

We believe that most disputes can be resolved in a friendly and amicable manner. We do not allow rigidity to dictate the dispute resolution process. Instead, we endeavor to create an environment where all concerned are encouraged to be reasonable and conciliatory.

Trustworthy

We treat all those we meet with respect, courtesy and compassion because only by doing so we gain their confidence and trust.

Transparent

We are neither consumer champions nor advocates. Neutrality and openness underpin our deliberations. Our service is free of charge. We respect confidentiality in all disputes and institute a process of conciliation that is acceptable to both parties. Decisions taken by us are consistent, clear and balanced so that any rational mind can appreciate the reasoning behind our findings
