Member Complaint Handling Process
We are dedicated to serving you every day with efficiency, accuracy and courtesy. If an occasion ever arises where you feel we have not lived up to this commitment, we have the following process to help you resolve your complaint. In order to save you valuable time, please assemble all documentation concerning your complaint and the names of any employees involved. Also, please be prepared to discuss the circumstances and any solutions you have that will help us rectify the situation.
Step 1
Please have a discussion with the person you feel is responsible for the actions that caused your complaint; if you do not know who that person is please ask our Receptionist in Wainwright or a Member Service Representative in our rural branches.
Step 2
If this person is unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, it will be referred to the Branch Manager.
Step 3
If the Branch Manager is unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction then you will be referred to the Vice President Branch Services.
Step 4
If you have gone through the first three steps and remain dissatisfied you have the option to write to our Member Complaint Committee at 502 – 10 St Wainwright, AB T9W 1P4; drop it off at any one of our seven locations or email lmotley@alberta-cu.com. Please include your name and preferred method of contact, the nature of your complaint, details relevant to your complaint and the staff with whom you have discussed your complaint. The committee will respond to your complaint generally within five business days. We feel confident that the majority of the issues will be resolved in step 1 or step 2; however each member has access to the whole member complaint handling process if the issue is not resolved to their satisfaction. The member must follow the above steps in order to give us the opportunity to resolve your complaint at the appropriate level and ensure a mutually satisfactory outcome.
