20.2. Handling your complaint
Paytend has internal policies in place to address how complaints are managed. Once Paytend have received your complaint, we aim to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and in a consistent manner. Your complaint will be promptly acknowledged and investigated by the Complaint’s Management/ Compliance Officer who is independent from Paytend day to day business functions and will be able to impartially investigate the circumstances giving rise to the complaint. If your complaint is relating to the actions of the compliance function of Paytend, it will be passed for investigation to an alternative senior manager that is not linked to the compliance function.
In conducting the investigation, the individual handling your complaint may contact you to request additional information which may be required to resolve the complaint. We may also, from time to time, get in touch to update you with our progress.
Upon completion of any investigation, we will provide you with correspondence confirming the same. In case of a payment services related complaint, the company will comply with the relevant provisions imposed by the Central Bank of Bahrain including all requirements to report or communicate information related to the complaint in the appropriate manner to necessary authorities. Paytend will also maintain records of the complaints it receives, and the measures taken for their resolution.
