In 2011, Grenada Co-operative Bank Limited affirmed its commitment to its customers and to providing a high service standard through the publishing of the Bank’s Customer Service Charter.
This Charter is the assurance given on the standards that can be expected from Co-op Bank. It is our commitment to continually strive to improve our service and build relationships with you, our customers. It focuses on two important aspects:
- Our commitment to you to always deliver excellent service
- Our promises on the standards of service you can expect from us.
Within our Charter, we stated that annually we will conduct an independent audit to measure our performance against our Charter promises. Today, we will reveal these results as it relates to our telephone service, banking facilities, account opening procedures, electronic banking services, loan processing and staff attributes. We are very delighted to present the results of our 2018 performances.
At Co-op Bank, we take pride in providing our customers with a comfortable environment whenever they conduct business with us.
