When money is involved, a small problem can feel big to the person it happens to. How quickly and fairly you respond tells every customer what kind of app you are.

Acknowledge fast

Reply quickly, even if you don't have the answer yet. Say you have received the complaint, that you are looking into it and when you will update them.

Listen before you explain

Let the person say what happened in their own words. Repeat back what you understood so they know you heard them.

Fix the cause, not just the case

If the same complaint comes up twice, change the app, the website or your process so it doesn't happen again.

Know the formal rules

Money services often have formal complaint rules and time limits. Ask your licensed partner what applies to you and follow it.
