New Banking Complaint Handling System in Canada Empowers Customers

  • As of November 1, Canada’s major banks must work with the independent Ombudsman for Banking Services and Investments (OBSI) for unresolved customer complaints, aiming to increase fairness in complaint resolution.
  • Previously, banks used third-party services, raising concerns about bias.
  • While OBSI’s decisions remain non-binding, the change offers customers a new, impartial avenue to address grievances.
