These laws are designed to protect consumers and ensure the stability of the financial system. Lawyers often work with banks to create policies and procedures that will comply with the relevant regulations. They may also represent banks in court if there are disputes about compliance with banking regulations.

Complaining to the Banking Ombudsman in Pakistan

This office is based on the concept of an undercover officer used by the Qin Dynasty in China. The purpose of this officer was to monitor government officials and their abuse of power. The ombudsman or Mohtasib is a state official appointed to provide a check on governmental activity in the interest of citizens and to oversee the complaints of citizens. Given the growth of private industry and its importance, the office of Ombudsman was introduced in different industries and enterprises to resolve disputes. The Ombudsman is a transparent and autonomous body or authority that refers disputes to be resolved. The office of the Ombudsman has become increasingly popular in recent years for a number of reasons. Ombudsman schemes have been shown to be effective in resolving disputes, and can help improve service quality and efficiency levels by identifying weaknesses during disputes and recommending improvements. They also provide a cost-effective dispute resolution forum, and can help reduce backlogs from the courts. The informal, flexible and quick process of dispute resolution offered by the office is also appealing, as is the fact that documents before the office remain private and confidential.
