Our Customer Commitment Charter
Our Charter aims to build upon the core values of our business, and explains clearly the service commitments set out by the Society.
As a mutual, providing the highest level of customer service and a range of products which delivers value to our members, it is of paramount importance. The values of this charter mirror our own corporate values of mutuality and fairness.
- We will help customers to do business with us in the way which best suits them; by telephone, post, through any of our branches and agents, and via the internet.
- We are committed to helping customers with special needs such as visual impairments and other disabilities.
- We will continue to offer both a Mortgage and Savings Promise, so that customers know their savings, investments and borrowings are in safe hands.
- Before launching any new products or services we will consider all risks from a customer perspective.
- All of our literature will be written in a way which is clear, fair and not misleading and we will have no hidden charges.
- We will contact customers with mortgages and general insurance at least once a year to provide them with an updated summary of their account.
- We will provide customers who do not have the facility to check savings account details easily themselves with an annual summary of their account.
- We will act on all complaints and will handle them in a timely and consistent manner.
- We will do everything we can to ensure customers are fully aware of any commitment they are undertaking with us before they sign up to any terms and conditions.
