Making a Complaint
Customers of licensed financial institutions are expected to raise the matter first with the institution concerned, should they have a complaint about a service or product. Only when they have exhausted the institution's own complaints procedures should they contact the Central Bank of Bahrain ('CBB'), using the complaint form provided (see under 'Related Information').
The Central Bank of Bahrain reviews complaints to see if there have been any breaches of its regulatory requirements. It also monitors complaints received to see if there are any noticeable trends.
Consumers should note that they are responsible for making sure they are clear up front about the contract terms of any products or services they obtain. They are unlikely to obtain redress, unless the financial institution concerned has broken these contract terms, has failed to disclose material information, or has otherwise acted in an unreasonable manner.
