Metro bank is reliable and flexible.

I was introduced to Metro bank, and my business and personal bank accounts were opened instantly on a day, a business manager was present at the site so i didn't have to wait. Metro bank is prompt to resolve any matter I may have at any convenient times, either with my personal or business account. There are flexible, lower rate at international withdrawal. They will contact me to inform me when I do not have sufficient funds available at a time of a direct debit for example. So I react to avoid any inconvenience. When i lost a debit card, it will be replaced instantly at my visit at any branch. I love Metro bank! Reviewed on: 4th April 2023

Metro Bank

Went into the store with no appointment and asked if they could open a bank account for me. within five minutes I was seated and the process began. They asked me a few questions, nothing serious, like proof of identity which I showed them my passport and that was it really they never asked me proof of address they did ask to do a credit check that only took a few minutes. They printed off the card in store and set up my banking app so I was good to go. They were very patient considering i messed up the banking app password and customer number multiple times. The customer service was pleasant to say the least. The only problem I have with them is that they do not have a machine to deposit money in to you have to go to the person on the desk to do it. Overall I would recommend them to anyone who would want to find a new bank to use. Reviewed on: 4th April 2023

Great service

I tend to magnetise cards so they do not operate, easy to call into the bank to get a new card activate pin. They provided me with a holder so this helps prevent this reoccurring. Great service and always helpful. Reviewed on: 4th April 2023
