Review of the Metro Bank, Current account:

Never worry about charges for not enough funds available for a payment....

The thing I like most about a Metro Bank current account is that if a payment falls due when funds are low you get a notification telling you and giving you the chance to top up the account by 2pm when the payment will be attempted again; therefore avoiding any charges. I have never known any other bank in the UK to do this. I have recommended Metro to family and friends. Setting up standing orders and other payments is very easy to do. Reviewed on: 26th March 2021

Brilliant bank.

Me and my two daughter use your bank. We have had to deal with a few problems, however the problems are quickly dealt with after I visit my local store. Friendly staff and always able to help Reviewed on: 1st February 2024

Fraudulent Bank.

Let fraud happen to my dead mothers account. When you make purchases on your own card they block it. Worst bank in existence. Reviewed on: 24th January 2024

Still waiting....6 weeks later!!

After reading their advertising stating that you could open an account in 10 minutes, I went to my local branch to open a current account. I was met by a member of staff and went through the process by showing my ID, stating that I've lived at the same address for 39 years and have an ''Excellent' credit score according to the credit score companies. There was something which prevented me from opening the account there and then apparently. She told me that the bank would get in touch with me by phone or email within 7-10 days. The following week I called into the branch again only to be told that sometimes there is a delay in contacting me. Now it's 6weeks later and still no contact from them. In the meantime I went to Santander and opened an account with them which was completely open within a week! Reviewed on: 3rd December 2023
