Central Bank.
Roskomnadzor.
Rospotrebnadzor.
Antimonopoly Committee of the Russian Federation.

The service scrupulously monitors the work of all companies in the field of information technology (IT), mass communications (QMS) and communications. It also accepts claims related to violations of the law regulating the use of personal data. Citizens can visit Moscow. The organization is located at building 7 on Kitaygorodsky proezd.

Queries related to:

forcing the bank to use the services of an insurance company;

refusal of examination when the research is carried out in a company not included in the list of recommended organizations.

Court and prosecutor's office

When the usual methods of resolving the problem do not help, all that remains is to go to the judiciary for help. Before writing a statement, it is worth collecting all the evidence that the plaintiff’s issue remains unresolved. These include request numbers and bank responses.

In case of a visit to the prosecutor's office, you must contact the regional unit. When leaving an application, it would be useful to clarify that the client is not legally protected and needs the help of law enforcement agencies. Protecting consumers from illegal actions of the bank is the responsibility of the organization’s employees.

Police

The reasons for the client's request in this case may be different. If the user’s personal data is disclosed and they call him at a number that was not provided to the bank’s specialists, there is every reason to contact the police department.

Dissatisfied with the work of a Sberbank employee

If the cause of dissatisfaction was the incorrect behavior of the bank manager, an erroneous transaction or the imposition of services, you should write an internal complaint. Many users are concerned about where to complain. There are several design methods available for this:

Write a request on the official website.
Contact the contact center (hotline).
Make a written complaint, then send the form by email or give the form to the department where the employee works.

Attention! Whatever option is used, the bank is obliged to send a response to the request, as required by the regulations. The results of the verification must be received by the applicant within the agreed period.

Sample complaint

Registration follows the same algorithm:

Describe in detail the situation that caused dissatisfaction that occurred at the bank.
Be sure to indicate the date of the operation, its number and the names of the workers who performed the service.
List the requirements to be fulfilled by the bank.
There is no need to evaluate or use incorrect expressions; instead, describe the facts concisely so that it becomes clear that the consumer's rights have been violated.
At the end of the form, put your signature, date and transcript of the signature.

Important! In addition to drawing up a written request, Sberbank employees are required to provide the user with a review book. There you can voice your dissatisfaction or make a proposal to improve the quality of the bank’s work.

How to write a complaint online

At Sberbank, clients are invited to write a complaint on the Sberbank website using the “Feedback” option on the official website:

For individuals, select the “Private Clients” section and indicate the purpose and reason for submitting the application.

Next, fill out the text of the application to the bank.

If this is not a primary request, you must indicate the number of the previous application. Check the accuracy of the entered data and click “Submit”.

Review takes approximately 30 business days. However, due to the large volume of work, the period often increases significantly. Many of the problems associated with conducting financial transactions cannot be solved immediately. This is explained by the limitation of powers of Sberbank managers.

Poll: are you satisfied with the quality of services provided by Sberbank in general?

YesNo

Written complaint to Sberbank

It is not always possible to organize the flawless and uninterrupted functioning of all branches of the largest financial company. When searching for employees, serious admission criteria are used for each position, but such a measure does not completely exclude the presence of shortcomings in a potential Sberbank employee.

If the manager has shown incompetence, incorrect attitude or unprofessionalism, you should leave a complaint against the head of the Sberbank office. This will be enough to resolve the issue. The maximum period for reviewing complaints is 180 days.

Despite the fact that there are more than five hundred credit institutions in Russia, Sberbank occupies a leading position among them. But there are enough shortcomings in his work that may become a reason to file a complaint.

The banking system in Russia is represented by more than five hundred credit institutions. It occupies a central and special place among them. It is to him that citizens entrust their savings; in its branches and terminals they pay bills, receive pensions, salaries, and take out loans. When a client has an unpleasant situation in a branch, they don’t want to solve his problems, the employees are rude, and waiting in line is exhausting, then a well-drafted complaint against Sberbank is designed to discipline the staff and resolve the conflict.

Among Russian banks, Sberbank is the largest. It represents a huge network of branches and regional offices that covers the entire Russian Federation. In the process of working with clients, situations may sometimes arise that require investigation. What should a client do if he encounters such a problem? If Sberbank is wrong, a complaint is a chance to restore justice, reaching even such a large bank. But it is necessary to objectively understand the intricacies of drawing up and filing a claim.

Reasons for complaints

In a huge, well-oiled banking mechanism, glitches can sometimes occur.

For example, we can talk about the following situations:

If you had to deal with incorrect treatment from bank employees, then you have a choice. You can pretend that nothing happened, or you can appeal their behavior. But at the same time, this is grounds for filing a complaint about the service. If a client complains about the rudeness of the staff, the bank is obliged to respond to this.
The mechanisms of banking services are not always clear to the client. The attentive attitude of employees and advice on how to act correctly in a certain specific situation can help here. Sometimes it will help if a bank employee simply provides moral support to a nervous client. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for a client to be treated rudely, avoid answering difficult questions, and provide poor quality banking services. If not in this case, these shortcomings may develop further.
Sometimes problems that arise lead to incorrect calculations and accrual of funds. The client has every right to protect his money and restore justice.
In some cases, when repaying a loan, the borrower complains about the bank’s mistakes, which lead to an unlawful tightening of the conditions for repaying the loan.
A serious violation may be the disclosure of personal data about a client. After all, everyone knows that banks store information about the client’s passport data, financial condition, and address. Disclosure is not only unethical, but also against the law. If Sberbank allowed this, then the complaint will be completely legal.
Unfortunately, in our time there is a practice of imposing additional payments or unfavorable conditions on bank clients. This is also illegal.

There are other types of possible violations. Let's say a customer has encountered one or more similar problems and wants to submit a written complaint. Where to start and what to do next?

Overview of options

Despite the apparent complexity of the situation, there are many opportunities to correct it.

These methods can be roughly divided into two groups:

relatively softer methods;
more serious options.

The following lists the available options in order of increasing complexity. It will be completely legal to choose from this list where to complain about Sberbank of Russia, but it should be understood that the more significant the chosen method, the more time and effort will need to be spent on bringing the matter to a result.

It is most rational to start with the simplest method of appeal and, if unsuccessful, move on to the next one until a positive result appears.

Where to begin

A sample complaint to Sberbank for any application option discussed later in the article provides for a clear formulation of the problem and a statement of all the facts that confirm the applicant’s point of view.

The simplest action is to simply reprimand the relevant employees and ask them to correct the mistake they made. This is not a complaint, but sometimes it can help correct the situation.

The first option may be to call the hotline. You may not need to write a complaint to Sberbank. Just call the number - 8-800-555-555-0. In this case, you can simply count on a polite answer. The operator will explain the current situation and give this or that advice. And only in rare cases can a complaint to Sberbank be transferred to the responsible person. However, the chances of this happening are almost zero. The request is not recorded, it is not given a unique number, and there is no way to track what the bank is doing to correct the situation. This is not difficult to do, but in most cases you should not count on correcting the situation.

Visit site

The next option is also not difficult. But its effectiveness is still somewhat greater. Nowadays, almost any bank has its own website on the Internet, which represents it. Sberbank also has such a website, and complaints can be submitted through it. We'll tell you how to write a claim to Sberbank. If you go to this page, there is a transition to a special page for feedback.

In order to figure out how to write a complaint against Sberbank, you need to remember how to correctly draw up the document.

The length of the appeal cannot exceed five thousand characters. Therefore, you should write about the essence of the matter, using clear language and citing relevant facts.
The statement must indicate the general topic to which the complaint relates.
Since the bank operates throughout the Russian Federation, it is necessary to select the region where everything happened, and also indicate the name of a specific Sberbank branch.

After sending the message, it will be assigned a number with which the applicant will be able to track the progress of the application.

If the client indicates the email address he has, an official response will be sent to him.

From your personal account

Russian clients of the bank have a personal account on the website. It is needed so that you can perform certain banking operations with additional convenience. How to complain about Sberbank in this way? If problems arise, you can submit a complaint through your personal account. At the bottom of the page there is a subtle link “Letter to the bank”. After going through it, you can submit an electronic application to Sberbank.

Written submission of a claim

Employees must be provided with a complaint to Sberbank, a sample and the forms themselves in order to fill it out and send a complaint. It is generally accepted that it makes sense to fill out an application directly in the boss’s office. Although a special form is provided here, the application is also written in free form. Having seen the seriousness of the client’s intentions, in most cases the manager will be able to solve the problem on his own. It is best to address the document to a higher-level manager. This could be a division director or a regional director. You must ensure that the document receives a registration number, and also obtain a copy of the complaint with this number and the signature of a bank employee.

Submitted documents are reviewed within 25 days.

Internet complaints

They do not have an official status, but to a certain extent they create the bank’s reputation. Therefore, you can tell your story via the Internet on one of those thematic sites where the quality of services of various Russian banks is discussed. In addition, it is important to know that among them there are those that have official support from Sberbank of the Russian Federation. Speaking out there is the same as contacting Sberbank itself via the Internet. On these pages you can not only learn about the experiences of other people, but also see examples of cases where someone was able to successfully win a dispute with a bank.

Using thematic sites, it is also possible to file a complaint against Sberbank.

Next level

Subsequent methods of fighting for your rights can be considered quite serious actions. The previous sections talked about claims that the bank itself tries to eliminate after learning about them. But what to do if complaints against Sberbank did not yield any results? You can contact the Central Bank, the prosecutor's office and other addresses.

Contacting the Central Bank

This organization controls the work of all banks in the Russian Federation. An appeal to the Central Bank is, in fact, an appeal to a regulatory authority. He has great power over the banking system, including revoking the relevant license. The Central Bank has its own website where you can write a complaint to Sberbank.

Antimonopoly service

In some (not all cases) a complaint against Sberbank can be sent here. For example, her competence includes situations where advertising was deceiving, and the client entered into an unfavorable agreement with Sberbank based on false information contained there.

Prosecutor's office

In some cases, a complaint is filed with the prosecutor's office. If the law was violated in relation to the applicant, this may help. It is believed that it is necessary to write a statement of complaint about the work of the bank to a higher prosecutor's office (region, territory or region). There they will not only consider the complaint against Sberbank of Russia, but will also provide some legal support.

Contacting the police

This is appropriate in cases where the client’s personal data was provided by the bank to third parties. Such an appeal can also occur when the bank sends information about financial transactions to those who are not authorized for this, and also do not have the corresponding rights by law. Complaints filed against Sberbank of Russia submitted to the police will be investigated with the utmost care.

Rospotrebnadzor

In some cases this organization can help. In particular, you can file a complaint:

if Sberbank refuses to repay the loan early, to which in this case there may be serious claims;
if interest on the loan was accrued with errors;
for assistance from Rospotrebnadzor in resolving problems with collection services;
if the loan payment is late for valid reasons, this organization may help convince the bank to restructure payments.

Court

If no other means have helped, but you still have the determination to fight for the restoration of justice, then all that remains is to go to court. It is recommended to apply at your place of residence, and not at the location of the bank branch. This procedure is long, troublesome and can be expensive. In this case, all available documents confirming the complaint will be of significant benefit.

Even in cases where Sberbank is not willing to cooperate, the court often makes a decision in favor of the applicant.
