• Deliver to our financial targets and keep us in line with our service level agreements and key performance indicators.
• Handle complaints constructively, in line with company and Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (Sw: Finansinspektionen) guidelines - escalating when a solution cannot be found so action is taken (and the customer is aware) to ensure prompt resolution.
• Maintain accurate and timely records, files, and databases to ensure data integrity and compliance with our Data Protection requirements.
• Ensure fraud controls and processes are followed, delivering quality at every touchpoint.
• Implement company policies and procedures to ensure compliance with requirements.
