How will we respond?
Once we have received your complaint, we will:
- investigate your complaint; and
- make a decision about your complaint and provide reasons in writing.
You can submit your complaint at any time and our customer service team is available 24/7.
If you phone outside of business hours, our agents will listen to your complaint and create a case number.
You will receive an acknowledgement that we have received your complaint within 1 calendar day with your case number to the email address given. If you raise your complaint over the phone, our agents will ask for your email address.
We aim to resolve all complaints within 30 days and we will notify you of any resolution. We will work with you to find a fair outcome. The resolution we provide will depend upon the circumstances surrounding your compliant, and may include correction of data, deletion of data or an apology.
You will receive status updates throughout this process, for example, when we receive your complaint, when it is under investigation and when it has been resolved. If you would like further updates, you can call the toll-free number to check the status of your complaint. If you submit the same complaint multiple times, our agents will inform you that the same complaint is already open and share an update on that case as well as the case number via email.
If we require more time, we will notify you in writing in relation to any additional time required to complete our investigation for resolution of your complaint, the reason for the delay, and on what date a decision can be reasonably expected.

Mastercard does not offer an internal review process for complaint responses. However, if you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a dispute with the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA). The AFCA is a free, fair and independent dispute resolution scheme.
