Discover Bank complaints FAQ
How many CFPB complaints does Discover Bank have?
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau publishes every complaint it forwards to a company. See the latest-year total and product breakdown above, sourced directly from the CFPB Consumer Complaint Database.
Does a high complaint count mean the bank is bad?
Not on its own. Bigger banks have more customers and therefore more raw complaints. Complaints per 1,000 customers is a fairer comparison, which is what our complaint score uses.
What happens after I file a CFPB complaint?
The CFPB forwards your complaint to the company, which typically has 15 days to respond. Most complaints are closed with an explanation or some form of relief; a minority go unanswered.
How do I file a complaint myself?
File directly at consumerfinance.gov/complaint. It's free, and creates a public record even if Discover Bank never resolves the underlying issue.
