In February 2010, NBG launched NBG OMBUDSMAN, the first Customer Ombudsman established by a Greek bank, a significant and pioneering initiative within the framework of the new Code of Ethics aiming at enhancing on an ongoing basis its customer relations.
NBG Ombudsman demonstrates the Bank’s ongoing commitment to its longstanding principles of mutual trust, reliability and awareness of customer concerns, while upgrading effectively the quality of the offered services.
The successful Customer Ombudsman initiative was extended to include Ethniki Insurance in 2011 as well.

ETHICAL PRINCIPLES OF NBG CUSTOMER OMBUDSMAN
NBG Ombudsman sets the following targets:
NBG Ombudsman's services are free of charge.
In 2015, the NBG Ombudsman confirmed the key role that the NBG Group attributes to its customers, respecting the customer’s problems and seeking mutually acceptable solutions to such problems, during a year marked by an extended bank holiday and capital controls, where of the total complaints investigated (and which properly fall within the Ombudsman’s jurisdiction), 81% were resolved successfully while 77% were processed within one week.
NBG Ombudsman's successful mediation in the relationship between the Bank/ Ethniki Insurance and their clientele played a key role in a difficult period for the customers due to the economic crisis.
The increase of the customers' requests, 265 in 2010 to 1,827 in 2015, is indicative of NBG Ombudsman's trustworthiness (2011: 1,210, 2012:1,640, 2013:1.765, 2014:1,690, Total:8,400).
In 2015, of the total customer complaints investigated, 81% reached a successful resolution, while 77% were processed within one week. (see Chart: Ι).
