How your complaint will be handled

When a complaint is received by Mukuru, the following process is followed:

  • Support team logs complaint and creates a ticket for the QA Team.
  • The QA Team acknowledges receipt, issues a ticket number, and provides updates every 48 hours to the customer.
  • If unresolved, the complaint is escalated to a specialised support member or Manager on duty.
  • The Manager or specialist investigates and consults stakeholders to resolve the complaint as soon as possible.
  • Complicated or legal cases may be referred to the Legal team.
  • Final decision, including reasons, is communicated to the customer.
  • A satisfaction survey will be sent to the customer. Further action will be taken if the feedback from the customer is “unsatisfactory.”

Complaint Reference Number
When you send a complaint, you’ll get a reference number to track it.
