Have your feedback and concerns heard 

If you have any feedback or concerns about service you’ve received from Gulf & Fraser, we would like to hear from you. We are dedicated to resolving any complaints fairly and we will use your feedback to improve how we serve you going forward. The steps below outline how you can tell us your concerns.

Step 1: Talk to your Branch Manager 

When you have feedback to share, reach out to your Branch Manager. They are your first point of contact to help resolve any concerns you have. If your Branch Manager is unable to directly resolve your concern, they may escalate the concern to the Associate Vice President of Member Experience or another senior manager.

Step 2: Escalate to the Complaints Officer 

In the event your concern remains unresolved, or you still have feedback you’d like to share, you may contact our Complaints Officer who will review your email and escalate your concern to the CEO’s office. The Complaints Officer is committed to providing a response to you within 90 days of receiving your feedback.  

Please email your feedback or concern to complaintsofficer@gulfandfraser.com.
