Complaints (English)
Your Concerns are Important
Concentra Bank, operating as Wyth Financial, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Concentra Trust, operating as Wyth Trust (together “Wyth”) continually try to deliver products and service levels that satisfy and, wherever possible, exceed your expectations. We recognize that in a given instance we could be perceived as falling short of your expectations. In those situations, we want you to contact us so that we have the opportunity to correct any deficiencies. For this reason, we have developed a process to assist you in obtaining a satisfactory response to any such concerns or complaints you feel should be brought to our attention. We will both benefit from discussing these matters.
Timely Handling
It is much easier to deal with issues immediately following the event. No matter where you communicate your concern in Wyth, you can anticipate a response within five business days of our receiving your communication. Where the issue is complex, the actual resolution may take longer than the five business days.
Understanding Your Concerns
Before communicating your concern, it would be beneficial if you have all of the pertinent information and documents available. This would assist in clarifying the nature of the problem and allow us to respond to your concern without undue delay.
Communicating Your Concern
We can best respond if your first contact is directed to our Client Support Representatives at:
Generally, these individuals will be in the best position to determine the facts and address your concern without undo delay.
If you feel you have not obtained a satisfactory answer, ask to speak with the individual's Manager. Your concern will be reviewed immediately.
