vulnerable customers
At ACE Union, we are dedicated to ensuring that our services are accessible
and beneficial to all customers, including those who may be vulnerable due to
various circumstances. We recognize the importance of catering to their unique
needs, and this Support Page is designed
to provide the necessary assistance and information.
Why we care
Vulnerability can manifest in numerous ways. It could be due to age, health
conditions, financial difficulties, or life events. Regardless of the reasons, we
recognize the importance of extending a helping hand to those who may be
more vulnerable, so they can enjoy the benefits of our services without unnecessary hurdles.
Understanding vulnerability
Vulnerability can arise from a variety of factors, including physical or mental
health conditions, financial difficulties, recent life events, and age-related
limitations. We are committed to ensuring that individuals facing these
challenges can still enjoy the benefits of our services without facing unnecessary obstacles.
Identifying vulnerable customers
Identifying vulnerable customers is a crucial aspect of our commitment to
inclusivity. We use a combination of self-disclosure and behavioral indicators
to identify customers who may require additional support.
Self-Disclosure: Customers can voluntarily inform us about their vulnerabilities when signing up or during their interaction
with us. We respect their privacy and ensure that this information is used
solely to provide better assistance.
Our approach to support
We understand that each vulnerable customer's needs are unique, and our approach to support reflects that.
Empathetic and Patient: Our support team is empathetic, patient, and attentive. We understand that some vulnerable
customers might require
more time to understand our services, and we are here to guide them every
step of the way.
Tailored Solutions: We offer personalized solutions that cater to the specific needs of each vulnerable customer. Whether it's
adjusting account settings,
explaining transaction processes, or addressing security concerns, our
team is well-equipped to assist.
Communication Choices: We offer various communication channels, including email, chat,
and phone, to accommodate individual preferences. Vulnerable customers can choose the
method that suits them best.
Collaboration with experts
We collaborate with experts in the field of vulnerability support to continually
enhance our services. This includes consulting with mental health
professionals, financial advisors, and community organizations to ensure that
our support is comprehensive and effective.
