Federal Consumer Provision Complaints
The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) supervises federally regulated financial institutions to ensure they comply with federal consumer protection laws.
For example, Banks are required by law to provide consumers with information about:
- Complaint handling procedures
- Borrowing costs on credit cards and loans
- Fees/charges and interest rates
- Their cheque holding policy
Banks are also:
- Required to open a deposit account when acceptable identification is presented (subject to certain conditions)
- Prohibited from making you buy a product or service as a condition for getting another (coercive tied selling)
If you have a complaint about such a consumer provision, you can contact the FCAC, in writing at:
