Review of the M&S Bank - Marks and Spencer, Current Account:

M&S Current Account

Very tedious login mechanic where you always need to have a pin device to use online banking. Reviewed on: 23rd November 2019

Lost the will to live

Have spent over 2 hours trying to reactivity my online account and getting absolutely nowhere. Followed instructions on line and Then phoned them, first call sounded like the person was on another planet and couldn’t understand a word they said, second call I was told my account was unblocked, left it half an hour and retried, again it said it didn’t recognise my password and blocked me again. Went back on line to try and reset it again on to have a page with M&S Bank on the... Reviewed on: 1st October 2020

Accessing online banking

I have given up trying to access my account on line. They may have made it difficult for criminals but also for users! Reviewed on: 21st August 2020

Refused a current account

Refused a current account just because my income is low due to being made redundant. I have plenty of money in the bank luckily I'm not poor but this gives an insight into the disgusting preducice this bank has for the poor. My salary prior to being made unemployed was over 50k, I hope to report them. Reviewed on: 7th August 2020

Customer Service person was in the Philippines. Line kept breaking up.

Somehow I managed to lock my credit card. Helpline person was based in Philippines - I asked because I could hardly understand what he said and the line was dreadful. I now have new card. Trying to validate by their automatic line was a nightmare. Kept getting disconnected part way through and finally managed to speak to someone this morning who was able to do this. Really dislike the new security system for logging in. I am paying off my balance and then will be cancellin... Reviewed on: 6th August 2020

Disgusted and let down

My wife and I are absolutely disgusted at the lack of service and lies from M&S Bank. I spoke to the bank on the 30-7-20 to ask for funds to be transferred from our savings account to our lawyers to pay for the deposit on our new house (£207k). I was told they would have to transfer the funds into our current account and that someone from security would call us on the 31-7-20 to action the transfer. I was working and therefore asked them to call my wife that day to activate ... Reviewed on: 1st August 2020

Great customer service all based in the North West very helpful love the app of all the banks that I deal with this is the best

Minor problem with activating a debit card which was really well handled by the staff and is now working perfectly thank you Reviewed on: 22nd June 2020

Great service

Got phone call allerting me to unusually large transaction, whcich was OK but I was reassured by the bank's vigilance. Also appreciated £81.61 interest on internet regular savings @ £250 per month Reviewed on: 8th February 2020

The App From The Pitts Of Hell

M&S clearly were on too many of their house sherry's when they employed such an inept technological team to design their banking app. A thoroughly horrible consumer experience. Want to transfer money?! It would be easier and less frustrating to send it in 1p coins via recorded delivery with the Royal Mail. Reviewed on: 4th February 2020

Avoid at all costs

Painful to use. Bugs on website mean I can't generate a useable secuity code, and when it fails the error message isn't even displayed (just an ! in a triangle). Reviewed on: 28th January 2020

A SMART DAY TO DAY BANK

I HAVE NOTHING BUT GREAT PLEASURE FROM DAY ONE OF DEALING WITH THIS MARVELLOUS BANKING GROUP AND I THOROUGHLY RECOMMEND IT Reviewed on: 8th January 2020
