I have been with Metro bank for a while. The staff are very helpful. Open late if you need to go to a branch. Modern and secure. International transfers with 20 pence charge only no matter the amount and free withdrawals abroad. Excellent service on app, online and branch. Would recommend any time.

Disgraceful service

1
I was scammed by an online merchant imitating official government website. I didn’t receive anything but a fake passenger locator form with wrong name hours after my flight. I raised concerns with the customer services as I thought it was a genuine government website and they stated they need bank details to verify my ID but no charge was declared. Many passengers fell victim and issued successful chargeback with their banks. Not Metro Bank which took the side of online fraudsters. Needless to say the website doesn’t even exist as it has been removed by Greek authorities. I received a letter from Lauren Tipping from Metro Bank “respectfully suggesting” me to go to the merchant direct. This despite several unanswered emails which they have on record but haven’t read. I’ve tried to call Metro bank and was transferred from one clueless adviser to another for over 1 hour and 20 minutes. Total shambles. Regardless of the outcome I’m going to close my account with them. This is no longer serious bank with competent staff. Reviewed on: 13th November 2021

Worst customer service

Worst customer service I have ever received it is soo evident they are working from home, they just don’t care. I had an agent cut the phone and beforehand was arguing with me rather than listening to my problem Reviewed on: 18th October 2021
