Review of the MBNA, Credit Card:

Bombarded

2
I took out this out as my first credit card, as the sign up bonus was quote good. I didn't use it much but this didn't stop them sending me endless amounts of post re: balance transfer offers and other cards which i did not need at all. I got so annoyed with all of this spam I got another card and closed this one (which was a convoluted process in itself) and would never use them again. Reviewed on: 14th June 2016

BRUTAL customer service waits.

I've called four times and never reached a human in less than 30 mins. Tonight I waited 40 mins until 7:01, only to have them tell me I needed to call back before 7pm. So frustrating. Reviewed on: 11th October 2023

Trying to report stolen card? Website says call us immediately? I have been on hold for over 1 1/2 hours while someone is using the stolen card. Just Stupid! Reviewed on: 13th July 2023

Reminders are so helpful.

5
The various reminders to pay and the amount, plus giving plenty notice followed by a further reminder have been so very helpful when trying to make the most use of my finances and paying the credit card on time but not too soon. Reviewed on: 12th July 2023

Automatic reminders to pay is so helpful.

5
I find the automatic reminders to pay are very helpful, then if still not actioned another reminder is sent and when I have paid I receive an instant acknowledgement. All gives great peace of mind, especially during this cost of living crisis. Reviewed on: 10th June 2023

Easy to understand, no nonsense

5
I've had an MBNA Credit card for quite a few years now and found dealing with MBNA to be very easy. The Credit limit for the card is very low by comparison to others, however it's a reasonable interest rate and the MBNA app makes it very easy to manage everything in an easy to understand, no nonsense fashion. I have only contacted MBNA customer services in relation to a personal loan but they were very helpful and friendly when I spoke to them. I would recommend MBNA with family and friends but be mindful that the credit limits offered do seem to be lower by comparison to other companies. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2023
