As part of this mission, the OCC also assists customers of national banks and operating subsidiaries with questions and concerns about their banks. Office of the Ombudsman Customer Assistance Group HelpWithMyBank.gov OCC’s Office of the Ombudsman serves three important functions: The OCC Customer Assistance Group (CAG) helps customers resolve issues with national banks and their operating subsidiaries. Trained professionals answer questions and provide informal guidance. HelpWithMyBank.gov provides answers to common questions drawn from thousands of calls made to the OCC Customer Assistance Group each year. • Administers the National Bank Appeals Process. • Conducts the Bank Examination Questionnaire. • Operates the Customer Assistance Group. The Office of the Ombudsman operates independently of the agency’s bank supervision function and is committed to the core principle of timely and fair dispute resolution.

The site also provides information that includes: • Whom to contact if your financial institution is not a national bank. • A dictionary of banking terms.
