Complaints

Process

We appreciate the opportunity to address any concerns you have with Greater Vancouver
Community Credit Union. If you have a problem or complaint, we encourage you to contact us
immediately following the steps outlined below.

Step 1: Gather your information 

Gather details such as:

• Date(s) of occurrence.
• Supporting statements or documents, if any.
• The names of any specific staff involved.
• Consider the action you would like to see us take to address your concern.

Step 2: Talk to your Branch Manager 

Contact your branch in-person, by phone or by email.
If the staff member is unable to assist you, they may refer you to a supervisor or branch
manager. You may also request this referral yourself should you feel that your issue is not being
addressed to your satisfaction.

Step 3: Escalate to the Complaints Officer 

If branch management is unable to assist you, they may refer you to the Complaints Officer, or
in their absence, the Operations Manager. You may also request this referral yourself should
you feel that your issue is not being addressed to your satisfaction.
