Steps in the procedure for protecting the rights and interests of financial services consumers

  1. The consumer files a complaint with the financial service provider;
  2. The financial service provider replies to the complaint within 15 days (or 30 days in case of a VPF management company);
  3. If the consumer is dissatisfied with the service provider’s reply or if the reply was not sent within the prescribed timeframe, the consumer may file a complaint with the NBS and/or a mediation proposal;
  4. The NBS asks the service provider to comment on the allegations from the complaint and/or state its position on the mediation proposal;
  5. The NBS informs the consumer of the findings in relation to the complaint no later than three months following the day of its receipt and/or implements an urgent and confidential mediation procedure.

The NBS complaint procedure/mediation procedure is free of charge.
