Postbank and Bafin: Complaint from the consumer advice center due to the slow release of seized accounts

According to a report by www.faz.net, the North Rhine-Westphalia consumer center has contacted the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bafin) and filed a supervisory complaint against Postbank. The reason for this is that Postbank is very slow in releasing seized accounts. A specific complaint from a Hessian woman who was faced with months of delays has already been reported in the F.A.Z. published. However, this does not appear to be an isolated case, as the NRW consumer advice center receives desperate calls and emails about this matter every day. The consumer advice center demands that Bafin intervene urgently because Postbank is not taking appropriate countermeasures to address the situation of the people affected.

The delays in the release of seized accounts by Postbank have far-reaching consequences for both the people affected and the company itself. The delays prevent customers from using their credit in a timely manner, which can lead to financial bottlenecks and inconvenience. In the long term, this could affect customers' trust in Postbank and its parent company, Deutsche Bank.

Furthermore, the delayed release of accounts could also have legal consequences for Postbank, including possible fines and regulatory measures from Bafin. This could affect the company's reputation and profitability.

Overall, the situation has the potential to have a significant impact on the market and consumers, as it could jeopardize customer trust and Postbank's regulatory assessment. It is crucial that Bafin responds appropriately to this complaint in order to protect affected consumers and strengthen trust in the financial market.
