Providing excellent customer service and satisfaction is very important to everyone at U.S. Bank Europe, and when things go wrong, we want to take appropriate action to rectify the situation. Complaints help us to fix problems, improve our products and make sure we’re delivering good outcomes for our customers.
Every six months, we submit data on the number of eligible customer complaints to the Financial Conduct Authority. It includes a rundown of how many complaints we received and how quickly we resolve them. It also sets us against our competitors for comparison.
We’ve provided a summary of our complaints data for the first half of 2026.
