Raw complaint volume, not a rate: larger institutions naturally draw more CFPB complaints because they serve more customers, and a complaint is a consumer-filed record, not a proven finding of wrongdoing.
Based on this company's own CFPB response record -- timely response, dispute rate, and relief rate, each benchmarked against every tracked company with 10+ complaints. Not a measure of product quality, pricing, or company size.

What the CFPB Complaint Record Shows for New York Community Bancorp Inc
In the CFPB record, New York Community Bancorp Inc has a nationwide complaint footprint. No product draws more complaints than "Mortgage," which sits at the top of the product breakdown. Inside that category, "Trouble during payment process" comes up most often - worth a look for anyone trying to spot the company's recurring pain point.
Timely response is the share of CFPB-forwarded complaints that receive a company reply within the 15-day window the Bureau expects. This company's rate clears the industry benchmark, pointing to intake and escalation processes that are working as intended. Relief means the case closed with monetary or non-monetary help for the consumer. Both rates sit in the score card above.
How to read complaint counts
Complaint counts alone do not tell the full story: larger institutions with more customers will naturally generate more complaints in absolute terms. The more informative signals are the direction of the yearly trend shown above, the state-level concentration, and the ratio of monetary-relief closures to closed-without-relief outcomes. Together, these fields provide context for reading the published CFPB record; they do not establish wrongdoing or resolve an individual dispute.
