Our Customer Support team routinely handles and makes operational decisions about complaints and is the first level of our complaints handling process.

At any point during this process, you can request that your complaint be escalated to PC Financial Executive Customer Care for handling. Please contact us by one of the methods described above, and if possible provide the reference number from our acknowledgement.
Step Two: PC Financial Executive Customer Care will handle escalated complaints
If our Customer Support team is unable to resolve your complaint within fourteen (14) days of receipt, we will escalate your complaint to PC Financial Executive Customer Care for handling.
You can contact PC Financial Executive Customer Care by email at customercare@pcbank.ca, by mail at the address in Step 1 above, or by phone at 1 866 822 8775. If possible, please provide the reference number from our acknowledgement.
Step Three: Complaint Appeal Office
If your complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction by PC Financial Executive Customer Care you can escalate your complaint to the PC Financial Complaint Appeal Office for review. The PC Financial Complaint Appeal Office will undertake a review of all unresolved complaints. Although the PC Financial Complaint Appeal Office is not independent from President’s Choice Bank, they will assist in obtaining a fair and reasonable resolution. Please note that the PC Financial Complaint Appeal Office will only be able to accept your request for a review if your complaint has already been dealt with by PC Financial Executive Customer Care. If you have not completed Step 2 above, your case will be referred back to PC Financial Executive Customer Care for appropriate review prior to involvement of the PC Financial Complaint Appeal Office.
