The Banking Mohtasib is an independent institution established under law (Part IV A Banking Companies Ordinance) to resolve public grievances against scheduled banks and disputes between banks.

We are not a regulator, or a court of law, or an industry watch dog, or a trade body, or a consumer champion.

Our services are free of any cost.

The Secretariat is located on the 5th Floor at Shaheen Complex, Karachi. Regional offices at Quetta, Peshawar and Lahore plus an office in Rawalpindi are located within State Bank of Pakistan premises.

Because of the nature of our business and given that authority is vested in the Mohtasib alone, decision making has been centralized at the Karachi Secretariat. However, in order to facilitate complainants, the Mohtasib and Advisors will visit all offices on a regular basis.

We are extremely conscious of our responsibilities towards both the public and the banks. Our primary aim will be to resolve all disputes amicably through an informal and friendly process of reconciliation rather than a formal adversarial procedure.

Our Mission Statement will determine our corporate ethos.Core Values, carefully developed by us, will be adopted by us not only as a corporate discipline but as a lifestyle and will be clearly reflected in all our actions.
