Review of the Metro Bank, Business Banking:

Appalling Treatment From This Bank !

Appalling Treatment From This Bank ! Worse decision ever made was to open a business account with this bank. We are a new business and on our very first transaction in from a well-known extremely reputable company and our account was frozen without warning ! Being a new business, we are relying on this payment to pay our staff, sub-contractors and expenses but are unable to do so. Numerous calls to the bank and even visiting the branch and still no-one can help! We then received a cold, callous signed letter from the Customer Services Director ‘AK” (I have the decency to not embarrass her by putting her full name) advising that Metro Bank are unable to continue to act as our bankers and are closing our account in 7 days’ time from the date of the letter. What is going on? We desperately needed to find out, locate this payment and make our payments for the work carried out. After calling the bank wanting to speak to AK, was advised that she is only contactable by letter! In this day and age? A letter? You can’t speak or even email her or a member of her team ! After speaking to several Metro staff by telephone yesterday, we were assured that if the payment was re-attempted, it would be reviewed and if they were satisfied, the transaction would take place. Brilliant ! As least we were getting somewhere. No such luck ! This payment has been rejected yet again. The result of this action? The payment was returned a second time by Metro Bank to the well-known reputable company causing us further embarrassment and feeling of incompetence to our valued client. Our hard-working staff and subcontractors have not been paid which is extremely upsetting for both us and them, along with the unpaid expenses which may possibly affect our credit rating. Then to finalise this, as from next Tuesday, our company no longer has a bank account! Metro Bank - No wonder your shares have recently plunged to all-time lows! Reviewed on: 11th May 2019

A bank that truly care about the needs of people.

I have been with Metro Bank for over five years. Banking with them is easy because real people in their branches are always ready to listen and help when you need help. Reviewed on: 10th April 2023

1st Year Set up for new business

I have now been in business for just over 12 months - it was very easy and quick to set up my business account. I had a couple of face to face meetings right at the beginning and from then onwards my account has been ticking over nicely. The banking App has ben safe and secure and easy to use. I have recommended you to one of my colleagues and he is happy with the set up. Thank you Metro Bank Reviewed on: 10th April 2023
