Fill out a feedback form
Feedback and member complaint forms are available from any one of our branches.
We empower our staff to resolve complaints at the first point of contact. If we are able to resolve the issue to your satisfaction, we will do so immediately.
If a complaint is not resolved immediately, our aim is to resolve complaints by the end of the fifth business day after receiving the complaint.
If we cannot resolve the issue to the satisfaction of the person making the complaint, by the end of the fifth business day after receiving the complaint, the complaint will be referred to our Complaints Handling Team, who will be responsible for investigating and resolving the complaint.
A member of our Complaints Handling Team will be in contact with the person making the complaint to let them know the name and contact details of the staff member handling the complaint.
Depending on the nature of the complaint, the Complaints Handling Team will contact the person making the complaint between 5 and 30 calendar days after the complaint is lodged and inform them of the outcome of the complaint in writing. Further details on outcomes are provided in the Complaints Policy on page 3.
If there is no reasonable opportunity for us to prepare a written response to you within 30 days (or 21 days for credit related complaints), either because the complaint is very complex or circumstances beyond our control are causing delays, we will advise the person making the complaint of the delay before the 30 (or 21) calendar days have expired.
We will tell them:
If you are unhappy with the outcome of your complaint, you can contact the external dispute resolution scheme, the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA).
AFCA’s contact details are:
Website: www.afca.org.au
Telephone: 1800 931 678 (free call)
Email: info@afca.org.au
In writing to: Australian Financial Complaints Authority, GPO Box 3, Melbourne VIC 3001
We want to do everything we can to resolve any problem you have, so it is important that you tell us first about your complaint or feedback with The Mutual Bank before approaching AFCA. If you contact AFCA first, they will ask that you speak to The Mutual Bank before commencing their investigation.
