Framework conditions of mediation
Our mediation guidelines
Our ombudsman service for financial service providers understands mediation as an out-of-court dispute resolution procedure in which mediators support the parties involved in the conflict in resolving their conflict amicably. On this page you will find information on the mediation process and our positioning as an ombudsman service.
Costs of mediation
Mediation is generally free of charge for customers of financial service providers. For financial service providers, the costs of mediation are defined in our fee and cost regulation.
NEUTRAL POSITION
The mediators have no decision-making authority. The parties themselves decide on the possibilities and results. The mediators, as a neutral instance, promote the development of solutions, are equally committed to all parties, independent of interests and ensure a fair, transparent and efficient mediation process. They support the parties involved in achieving a solution that is satisfactory for both sides and in line with their interests.
PRIVACY
The mediation process is based on the confidentiality of the information and findings received. All important and useful information should be disclosed by both parties. The parties have no right to inspect the correspondence between the ombudsman service and the other party. Statements made by the parties within the framework of the mediation procedure and correspondence between one party and the ombudsman service may not be used in any other procedure.
