If your problem is not resolved to your satisfaction with your first contact, we encourage you to escalate your complaint by telephone, mail, fax or email to the Client Care Centre Manager.

Once we receive your complaint, we will do our best to resolve the issue quickly. When contacting us, please include a telephone number and email address where you can be reached.

Step 3: Appeal to the Complaints Appeal Officer

You may appeal your complaint by contacting the Complaints Appeal Officer in writing if you are unsatisfied with the resolution provided by the Client Care Centre Manager. Please explain why the problem has not been adequately resolved to your satisfaction.

Step 4: Additional Consumer Resources External to DCBank

ADR Chambers Banking Ombuds Office (ADR Chambers) is DCBank’s external complaints body. ADR Chambers is independent from DCBank and can provide you with information and further review of your complaint if you are still unsatisfied or if your complaint has not been resolved or closed within 56 days from the day the complaint was made.

Contacting the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada ("FCAC")

The FCAC supervises all federally regulated financial institutions to ensure that they comply with federal consumer protection provisions. It also educates consumers and monitors industry codes of conduct and public commitments designed to protect consumer interests.

These consumer protection provisions cover a variety of operating practices that directly affect clients. For example, financial institutions are required by law to provide consumers with information about their fees and complaint handling procedures.

Specific complaints made in writing will be assessed by the FCAC on a case-by-case basis to determine whether a federal consumer protection issue exists, and if so, what necessary action should be taken. Regulatory complaints should be submitted in writing:

The FCAC's web site provides a complete listing of federal consumer protection laws.

Contacting the Office of the Privacy Commissioners of Canada

If your complaint relates to a privacy related matter, you may contact: The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at 1-800-282-1376 or priv.gc.ca
