SinoPac Holdings and its subsidiaries established the “consumer dispute supervisory unit“, which is responsible for tracking consumer dispute cases and subsequent progress, in order to ensure that customers' concerns about products and services are properly handled. The unit summarizes the status of consumer disputes and reports it to the Board of Directors, showing that the Company takes consumer disputes seriously from the top down. Furthermore, supervisors and employees of business units at Bank SinoPac and SinoPac Securities are all required to receive training for handling consumer disputes, in order to fundamentally lower the probability of consumer disputes. The training sessions share cases and handling techniques, which will effectively improve service quality and strengthen risk management concepts.
