They are great as they have a high street presence which reflects in their commitment to customers unlike many other banks and financial institutions that have deserted the high streets and pandered to their share holders instead, Reviewed on: 20th August 2026

Poor service and unfair account closure.

On 20 May 2026, I visited Metro Bank’s Bishopsgate branch (117–121 Bishopsgate, London EC2M 3TL) to resolve an issue with a replacement debit card that had not been activated. A staff member was hostile, accused me of not following instructions, and raised an unrelated debate about his nationality. He refused to assist and did not apologise. As I left, a large male employee—later identified as the assistant manager—approached me aggressively, shouting, “Go! Go, out of here!” He moved towards me in a threatening manner. When I asked if he believed his physical size could intimidate people, he replied, “Yes.” He continued shouting outside the branch in broad daylight, clenching his fists and making threatening gestures. I felt genuinely fearful of physical assault and called the police. The next day, Metro Bank emailed to say my account would be closed on 28 May 2026, citing “following a review” with no further explanation. A letter cited a breach of Term 11.2, which they apply to threatening behaviour, fraud, or illegal account use. I had done none of these things. I am a vulnerable customer, assessed by the DWP as having Limited Capability for Work due to a mental health condition. Metro Bank’s conduct caused me significant psychological distress.

New debit card

Current account it’s ok. Only one thing is not comfortable like few years ago. Now it’s not possible get new debit card at the branch. They can sent it by post in UK only. Reviewed on: 25th March 2026
