Review of the MBNA, Credit Card:

Bombarded

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

Awful. Avoid at all costs.

Terrible customer service. Call handlers don’t seem to have a clue, you get passed from one person to another all clueless. They have caused me significant damage to my credit record when it could have been avoided. Reviewed on: 8th July 2022

Customer support in non existent, they should not be in this business

Customer service is a joke. Their agents will put you on hold and never come back to you if they do not know how to answer your questions or can't find solution to your problem. Reviewed on: 21st June 2022

Easy to use, regular offers

App is easy to use and can pay straight from my bank I regularly get balance transfer offers which helps managing balances on other cards Reviewed on: 11th March 2022

F wally from the fraud department. Guy is a crook and a parasite to the world for what he does.

MBNA is the worst brand, AVOID THEM AN ALL THEIR SISTER COMPANIES Reviewed on: 2nd March 2022

Deliberate Deception

In my honest opinion MBNA use deliberate deception in order to try and persuade new customers to sign up for their best credit card which offers balance transfers at zero interest for 33 months with a fee of 2.69%. But when you apply, even with a very good credit score, you receive paperwork showing the term is only for 14 months and the fee is 3.49%. This sharp practice tantamounts to deliberate deception in my book. If this is an example of how they operate then I recommend you avoid them. You know "The Rule of Thumb" if the deal looks too good to be true then it's very likely to be "UNTRUE". But the point I'm making is can MBNA be trusted in any aspect in banking......".I rest my case" Reviewed on: 18th February 2022

Thanks Omar!

Had a great call with a member of staff from the Money transfer team called Omar. Really clear and helpful! - thank you! Reviewed on: 11th February 2022

Excellent customer service

Today I activate my card . I called them. Parth knows his job and treated me like a VIP client compare to many other banks. He helped me a lot to understand everything completely. Reviewed on: 5th February 2022
