Review of the MBNA, Credit Card:

Great introductory offers

Great introductory offers let down by a less than obvious activation process. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Insulting

1
Clear credit history until a problem occured with my direct debit as lockdown began . I wasn't aware of this until I checked my credit file and it showed missed payments . I had been paying extra amounts and wasn't aware my direct debit had aborted . No sympathy or understanding and no genuine communication . Issues with internal messaging systems . System refreshed by call handler then suddenly I started to recieve communication . I even recieved a letter ! As a nurse working through lock down it has left me in a very difficult financial situation . No resolve with this company so I have had to escalate complaint . Not worth borrowing from the card considering the damage that's been cause based on a small monthly payment . Reviewed on: 5th October 2020

Terrible customer service!

1
Beware of terrible customer services Beware! Shocking customer service. Been on the phone for 1hour 40 mins passed between 3 members of staff! Cant take my payment tried 3 times and left on hold for way too long. When passed to customer services told they are sorting out their problem told to hold for a couple of minutes then left waiting for a further 30 mins when the next advisor picks up the call knows nothing about my case. The worst customer services I have experienced. Typical of the Royal bank of Scotland. Same terrible service as Natwest bank, no surprises they are the same company. Will send me a txt within 5 working days to look at my complaint!! Shocking! Reviewed on: 20th July 2020

Trustworthy and fair

I've been really impressed with MBNA. Fair interest rates, good deals, and easy to see balance and pay online! Reviewed on: 12th July 2020

Fair pricing and easy to use app

4
Always found it easy to use my credit card and it gives me peace of mind to have. The app and service online are easy to make sense off. Reviewed on: 26th June 2020

I've been with Anna for years they are very good never had any trouble Reviewed on: 11th June 2020

Started so well but ending so badly...

1
Great card in terms of free balance transfer. Got my text to saying 0% coming to an end as 21/06/20. Still owed £2300 so wanted to clear it ASAP. That same day I paid £300, then a week later another £150. Went to pay £500 again today but they REFUSE to accept my money as i've made two payments this month. They are literally NOT LETTING ME clear my debt and clearly want the interest period to start. Contacted the ombudsman Reviewed on: 5th June 2020

Good decent credit card provider.

5
MBNA is always top of my list of providers to choose for a credit card. They offer frequent zero % Apr offers for existing customers, and even better offers for new customers. The online account does everything you need, my only gripe is not being able to allocate payments to specific plans online. If ever I've had to speak to them they have been helpful, and proactive. All in all, I would recommend an MBNA credit card. Reviewed on: 27th April 2020

A horrible card that was once great

1
Was a fantastic card in the past, now being acquired by Lloyds group the service became horrible and they changed the terms and conditions regularly to confuse you and get the most out of you. If you raise a complaint you will be put on hold for an hour then go through a complicated formal complaint process. I cancelled the card after being a client for 15 years. Not recommended any more, and I'll make sure to cancel all their cards very soon. Reviewed on: 26th February 2020
