Complaints and Procedures
The Montepaschi Group has always been committed to meeting the needs of its customers, taking the utmost care to ensure their complete satisfaction.
In fact, the Bank's primary goal is to continually enhance the quality of its relationship with its customers, listening to their needs and identifying appropriate solutions in order to provide the product or service that best meets their preferences and requirements.
In some cases, however, the customer may feel that the service received did not meet their expectations. In such instances, they can contact their branch to discuss the reasons for their dissatisfaction and suggest possible remedies.
The Bank's branch staff are at the disposal of customers to respond quickly to their requests for information and assistance, or to find the most appropriate solution to any issues that may arise in their relationship with the Bank.
If the customer is unable to resolve the issue with their branch and requires further information or assistance, or wishes to make a complaint, they can use the communication methods described in the CONTACTS section. If, for any reason, it is not possible to obtain satisfactory answers or resolve the issue through these channels, the customer may submit a written complaint to the Bank's Complaints Department.
The simplest and quickest way to do this is by filling out the online form, providing a detailed description of the reasons for contacting the Bank.
Alternatively, the customer may make a formal complaint using the following additional methods by sending the appropriate form:
- by e-mail to: reclami@mps.it
- by certified e-mail to: customercare@postacert.gruppo.mps.it
Please specify:
- For individuals:
- Name and Surname
- Tax Code
- For companies:
- Company Name
- Company Tax Code or VAT number
- by direct delivery: Branch staff will collect the complaint and forward it to the Bank's Complaints Department.
- by ordinary post to:
Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena S.p.A.
