Metro knows nothing about account switching

I used the the account switching service to move my current acc to a new bank. Metro did not move my overdraft balance to my new bank and marked my account as outstanding to the debt agency. This left a nasty footprint on my credit score. I applied for credit with my new bank which was declined due to my credit score. I had to borrow money from a friend… embarrasing. I complained and Metro admitted the mistake. The offered me £50. I declined as I felt it did not reflect fair compensation for the impact this had on me. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2026

Good Customer Service and I highly recommend their basic account Reviewed on: 22nd January 2026

Better accounts elsewhere

Decent app but no open banking links from Metro to other banks. Current account is standard fare. Charges for foreign transactions. No whistles and bells at all. Store staff are ok but often disinterested.. Not sure that they really want retail business. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2026

Account switching feels like sour grapes

I recently decided to move my bank account away from Metro Bank as I was not satisfied with the reduced branch (Store) availability and the general moral of the employees. At first Metro Bank was a breath of fresh air but that changed and it feels as tired as banks always were. I used the current account switching service offered by my new bank/building society. All seemed to go well up to the point where my balance was meant to be moved over. Metro Bank neglected to move my overdrawn balance to my new bank and set my account balance to zero. Metro Bank then went to mark my account as outstanding and reported me to the credit bureaus. I immediately walked to my nearest Metro Bank store to pay the outstanding balance but the cashier said that is not possible. She raised this with the account switching team. I contacted the customer services and asked to pay the outstanding which was then sorted out over the phone. I also made a complaint. (In the past, I had always maintained a very high credit score) This left a nasty footprint on my credit score and when I asked my new bank for credit, this was refused as my credit score was rubbish. This put me in an awkward position as I was forced to ask family for a loan. I made a complaint Metro Bank. The complaint was upheld and they apologised for the way they treated my account switch. They offered £50 compensation. I then contacted them and said that I do not need the £50 anymore as I have resolved my problems but I do not feel that £50 nearly compensates for the difficult position that their handling of my account switch put me in. They maintained that £50 was all that was on offer. I declined this offer again. If there was any doubt of changing bank accounts, this had now been put to rest. Reviewed on: 14th January 2026

I have been with Metro bank for over six years now, and it's been a breeze really. The app is easy to navigate and self explanatory. Every time I needed to go into my local branch I have always been helped promptly. The app is so easy and complete that one hardly ever needs to phone them up or go to a branch. Overall I'd recommend Metro Bank Reviewed on: 27th May 2025

Metro bank

I love metro bank I have been a customer since I was 11 years old they are a great financial institution but over the last year they have removed some great features that other banks didn’t have to offer such as their in store card printing service which was very convenient in the unfortunate incident of losing a card instead of having to wait for 5 working days to get a new one I could pop in store and get a new card within 5 minutes and another unfortunate thing with metro bank is their operating hours they used to be open from 8am to 8pm 7 days a a week but over the last years they have reduced their hours significantly and are also now closed on Saturdays and Sundays Reviewed on: 16th April 2025
