Complaints and claims in the financial sector: A key indicator for compliance and continuous improvement

User complaints and claims not only reveal critical pain points in the financial experience, but also serve as a valuable tool to strengthen regulatory compliance and raise industry standards.

In a context where trust is a strategic asset, proper management of complaints and claims in the financial sector has become a priority for both institutions and regulatory bodies. Beyond a legal obligation, responding effectively to these concerns is an opportunity to improve processes, detect systemic failures, and reinforce commitment to clients.

Why is complaint and claim management so important?

Regulatory compliance: In many Latin American countries, regulatory bodies require financial institutions to have effective customer service channels, as well as periodic reports on the number and type of complaints received.

Risk detection: Frequent complaints can be early indicators of failures in products, services, or even in the behavior of certain system actors.

Reputation and customer loyalty: How an institution handles a problem can shape its reputation more than the issue itself. Good customer service can turn a mistake into a loyalty-building opportunity.

Current Trends and Challenges

According to various regional reports, the most frequent complaints in the financial sector are related to improper charges, operational errors, lack of transparency in the information provided, and delays in reimbursements. However, the main challenge remains traceability: many institutions still lack systems capable of tracking each complaint from its origin to its resolution.

The compliance area plays a key role in this process:

  • Establishing clear user service policies aligned with current regulations.

  • Monitoring the implementation of these processes to ensure compliance with established standards.

  • Incorporating technology and data analysis to identify complaint patterns that may lead to preventive or corrective actions.

✔︎ Register, monitor, and document every complaint or claim, ensuring full traceability.

✔︎ Centralize alerts and automate reports, making it easier to comply with regulatory requirements.

✔︎ Integrate this process with other compliance modules, promoting a 360° view of operational and reputational risk.
