Desjardins Customer Service 2026 | Phone, Hours & Complaint Process

Updated

Desjardins customer service is delivered primarily through the AccèsD digital platform, by phone via the 1-800-CAISSES line, and through local caisse branches concentrated in Quebec. Complaint escalation follows a provincial path — AMF in Quebec, FSRA in Ontario — not the federal OBSI used by chartered banks.

Complaint Escalation

Desjardins is NOT an OBSI member. Escalation follows a provincial path:

Step Contact When
1 Your caisse — phone or in person First contact
2 Desjardins Member Complaint Office If caisse response is unsatisfactory
3 (Quebec) AMF — lautorite.qc.ca External; Quebec regulator
3 (Ontario) FSRA — fsrao.ca External; Ontario regulator

The AMF and FSRA both provide consumer protection and dispute resolution for credit union members in their respective provinces. Unlike OBSI (which is for federally chartered banks), these are provincial bodies with different processes and powers.

If you are unsure which regulator applies to your situation:

  • Quebec residents: AMF
  • Ontario residents: FSRA
  • Other provinces: contact your provincial financial services regulator
