The Customer is constantly at the center of attention of Solution Bank S.p.A.
For us it is of fundamental importance to maintain the customer’s trust and this is why we are committed to providing quality services on a daily basis.
However, it may happen that, despite the commitment, in some cases customers’ expectations may be disregarded, generating dissatisfaction for those who believe they have not received a service that meets expectations.
In such circumstances, cooperation and dialogue with the Client become essential to allow the Bank to identify and remove the causes that caused the grievance, to allow the interested party to satisfy his needs and to improve the services offered or remove any critical issues.
Clients who feel that they have not received a level of service appropriate to their expectations or if a problem arises, can contact their Branch to report the reasons for dissatisfaction, request clarification and try to find a solution with the Branch staff.
In case of disputes between the Client and the Bank regarding banking and financial operations and services, investment and insurance brokerage services and activities, the Client may submit a written complaint to the Bank in the following manner:
- by registered letter A.R. to the following address:
SOLUTION BANK S.p.A.
Ufficio Reclami
C.so della Repubblica 126
47121 – Forlì (FC)
- by registered mail at any branch of the bank;
- by fax to +39 0543 811118;
- by e-mail to: reclami@solution.bank
- via certified e-mail to: legale@pec.solution.bank
The Bank will respond as quickly as possible and in any case:
- within 15 working days from the receipt of the complaint regarding payment services (if in exceptional situations the Bank fails to respond within the aforementioned deadline, it will send the Client an interlocutory response in which it clearly indicates the reasons for the delay and specifies the deadline within which the Client will receive the final response, in any case not exceeding 35 working days);
- within 60 calendar days, if the complaint relates to banking and financial operations and services – current accounts, deposits, loans, etc.
- within 60 calendar days if the complaint relates to investment services;
- within 45 calendar days if the complaint relates to insurance services relating to the placement of insurance or supplementary pension products.
If the complaint is well-founded, the Bank will confirm it in writing to the Client; if the solution of the problem reported by the Client cannot be immediate, or requires organizational or technological interventions, the answer will specify – as far as foreseeable – the technical time required.
If, instead, the Bank does not accept the complaint, it will reply in writing specifying the reasons for its decision.
In this case, or if the Client has not received a reply within the set time limits, or if he is in any case dissatisfied with the outcome of the complaint, the Client may apply to the Judge before appealing:
A. in the case of disputes concerning banking and financial transactions and services, to the Arbitro Bancario Finanziario (ABF): if the disputed fact is prior to the sixth year prior to the date of the filing of the complaint, within the limit of 200,000 euros if the complaint involves a claim for a sum of money.
