SOME MONTHS AGO THEY REPAIR THE CARD.
I TOLD A LADY I WILL RETIRE THE MONEY.
SHE DID NOT CARE.
WHO OWNS THESE HORRIBLE BANK?
IT IS Rubish

Customer service has no idea what's going on. The app doesn't work properly. Reduced the call centre hours. Can't access my money when I need to because their systems don't work. I don't have anything positive to say about my experience with Metrobank. I think it's time to switch, I can't see this bank lasting much longer. All my friends have jumped ship. I would NOT recommend banking with this mob. You've been warned.

This bank is the joker of the banking world and this week I’ve had the worst experience I’ve ever had with any business in my entire life, shocked at the almost non existent customer care, I’ve spoken to 25 members of staff over a 5 day period, spent 11 hours on the phone, sent multiple emails with no reply, been promised a phone call by a manager within 24hrs and 48hrs later I’m still waiting, if Billy Smart had a bank then this would be it!!! AVOID THESE GUYS LIKE THE PLAGUE, THEY WILL FREEZE YOUR MONEY UNJUSTLY AND JUST KEEP YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WITHOUT YOUR MONEY 💰

Do not use this bank under any circumstances.
Money disappearing from my account.
Then taking transactions twice and claiming it wasn't there fault.
Then putting phone down.
This bank should not be trusted with anyones money under any circumstances.
Dangerous and scary how there allowed to operate
Looks like i will be taking them to court

I rang this bank to tell them a scammer asking for £3000 had given me an account number to pay the money into a metro bank sort code - well the number they give you for reporting fraud on their website site is only a general number with 5 options non actually related to fraud , after waiting 29 mins someone answers the phone and puts me through to the supposed fraud line after 20 mins someone answers and says this is the plastic fraud line and she puts me on hold for 20 mins till I get through to the non plastic fraud line he then says he’s not part of the fraud team but he will pass them a message - WHAT A SHAMBLES after more than an hour wasted that’s the best he can do so I ask for a reference number so I can make a complaint but of course he can’t do that because I don’t have an account with them - all I was trying to do was warn them that a scammer had an account set up at their bank - I really don’t think they are interested in helping people avoiding being scammed - a shocking bank basically

When I first opened this account back in 2014, Metro were brilliant. I originally opened it because of the free cash withdrawals anywhere in Europe but their system and customer service were also excellent. Unfortunately, they have, over the last year become absolutely woeful.

There have been many serious problems but worst of all, I have been unable to send money to payees using online banking for the last 10 months. Constant errors mean I have to phone the bank every time I need to transfer money.

4 times they have raised an IT issue, promised a call back to resolve, then nothing and the call has been classed as resolved and closed.

One advisor told me I must be using the browser wrong because there is no issue their end. When I advised her that I was a cyber security analyst, with a master’s in computer science (which is actually true), she hung up, actually put the phone down. Clearly she knew full well she was talking nonsense.

Add this to not being able to move money between my current and savings account, again requiring a phone call each time, this is appalling service from a bank marketed as online.

I have now transferred my Metro account to First Direct who, so far, have been absolutely superb.

It’s a real shame because Metro was a great bank but, I can’t see them staying in business another five years so get out while you can, and they take your money with them.

Worst banking app ever. Every night they show my balance wrong. They show cleared payments on statement but those cleared payments also show as pending still so it takes your current balance to lower than it actually is. I wouldn’t trust this bank if I needed access to my own money over night. Never seen such a poor system.

Poor customer service.
Very easy to set up an account but it's all down hill after that.
Also, not suitable if you work with international clients with multiple currencies.

Very difficult to use online banking personal account. Never work properly. If you forgot your password, you are in trouble, as customer support is helpless. Mobile app is too simple, don't have features other banking apps has and not working properly most of the time. Always " something went wrong" on the screen. Staff in branches polite, nice people. You can order lost card to be remade for you in branch, this is good. But online banking services are very poor quality comparing to other banks, need to do something with it.

Hi everyone,

If you provide services for someone in UK and get paid from abroad into metro bank account it will be the biggest mistake you ever make, metro bank will not clear the payment into your account metro bank will ask you for lots off pepper why you received this payment and it will take weeks to resolve the problem please stay away from this crazy stupid bank, go Bank with NatWest, Barclays , RBS you will never have this problem !

This metrobank das not deserve one ⭐️ but I was forced to give one to right this Review

The advertisement suggests that a bank account can open in 10 minutes. It took me 7 days, and 7 visits to the bank for setting up an account.

Then, they blocked my card in the middle of the day, and their fraud detection service has an sms address that does not receive smses, but asks you to send them a Y or an N for whether a particular transaction was done by you. They then gave me a number to call, where I talked to some customer representative from the fraud department. I gave them my details CORRECTLY, but the did not unblock my card. They asked me to visit their branch again. Imagine if this would have happened when I was abroad.

Extremely unreliable and extremely dangerous situation it puts you through in case you have only one bank account you rely on.

I Love metro bank my favourite uk bank for both personal and business, I can’t fault there works class customer service!!

One of the worst Banking experience.
I wish i could give minus ➖ 10 🌟

Rang Metro Bank head Office yesterday to obtain an exchange rate for TL (Turkish Lira). Head office confirmed the rate for me to Buy is 19.4946 TL to £1. Transferred phone call to Local Branch who also confirmed the same Buy Rate 19.4946 TL to £1. I confirmed I would be in the Branch this morning to obtain said Turkish Lira.
Today I arrived and was told by the cashier that the Buy rate is 16.0748 to £1 and was told that money exchanges fluctuate overnight. Now this would be a -17.54% drop, hardly likely when M&S, Post Office, Sainsbury Buy Rate today is exactly the same as yesterday i.e. 18.635. I explained that I confirmed the rate with a colleague yesterday but they conceded that do not register incoming calls.
Yet again I have been thwarted by Metro Bank incompetence. My wife is absolutely correct "Why do you keep Banking with these dullards when they have given you inaccurate information numerous times?"
Learned my final lesson today, will be transferring to another provider forthwith.
- 0 Stars and would never recommend them to anyone.

Bad experience with banking with metro I can’t excess or purchase online with verification so many numbers they give you and I sill can’t access the account information online I hope they shut down in the near future horrible customer service Mohammed Ahmed 😡😠☹️

They do not answer the telephone when calling customer services. On hold for so long, I gave up. Clearly, they consider that their time is more important than their customers' time.

Afternoon going back and forth in one day for about three times because of the long waiting time, am currently waiting for about 40mins with no one available to attend to me. First they don't book appointment, again when you go too early, they tell you their representative haven't arrived. Yes they have nice attractive,spacious environment but unfortunately they are NOT EFFECTIVE. The services is terrible. How I wish I have an alternative at this point.

Metro bank Leicester branch has Very bad customer service, staff don't know how to deal with customers in a proper manner, never experienced this type of attitude from staff in any other bank that I bank with, I was going to open a business account with you guys but thank God I went with Natwest.

Bank staff pleasant and helpful, but.....
The rest of the corporation is useless and cannot resolve issues.
The major issue is your account will not link to any accounting software even the one they are promoting.
Two visits to branch to resolve the problem, a week of back and forth with accountants, you cannot share the downloaded files with accountants, you have to scan everything back in.
A total waste of time.
Go to a proper bank that won't be fustrated and dissappointed with, I'm closing my account because they cannot get there act together.
