Bank opening time is very convenient Reviewed on: 9th April 2021

Simply The Best

5
Started banking here about 5 years ago and I was stunned by the courtesy and efficiency of this bank. Head and shoulders above any other I have used in the UK. They have simplified every need (except once when I needed to convert a foreign cheque and I thought it was too expensive, but hey, ONE thing to complain about in 5 years???) They give you lollypops, smiles, always great you, let you use their loos and act as if my tiny bit of business matters. They are pooch friendly - and they don't charge you to change your...change. This level of service has been consistent in every branch. Reviewed on: 9th April 2021

Can you love your bank?

After having accounts with several different banks over the years and dealing with their archaic service and opening hours, I was happy to find Metro. We were "kicked out" of our last bank when it was bought by santander, who changed their dogs in the lobby policy. (I had gone in the week before without a problem.) When I asked them what the problem was, since I was a customer and had come in to pay in checks to my account with the foyer machine, I was told I had to leave. I said, "So you won't allow me to pay in checks?" No, you'll have to leave "I'll change banks" The reply was "i don't care!!" Walked out and walked into the welcoming, friendly, helpful staff at the Metro on Tottenham court road. The phone staff has always been pleasant too. Please continue to hire and train such nice people! PS. Gigi, my Crufts obedience champion thinks this is her "cookie bank". They are absolutely her favorite treats. Reviewed on: 9th April 2021

Great bank

This is a really good bank. It’s quick and easy to set up and manage however it could be better by matching or beating competitors on its interest rates for under 18s. Reviewed on: 9th April 2021

A Bank that treats you much more than a customer

5
I opened my account in Metro bank back in 2017 and I have never been happier. If you don't trust me, just visit any branch of metro bank and see how kindly they treat you. Even on phone they will try to solve most of the issues without any delay. Thank you Metro bank and team :) Reviewed on: 9th April 2021

Metro Bank are always very helpful knowledgeable understanding always calm and they always want to help you out and resolve your situation and put a smile on your face Reviewed on: 9th April 2021

MetroBank is there for its customers

Banking with MetroBank is so straightforward and easy. I was given lots of help when a company continued to take money for a cancelled subscription. It’s been simple and stress-free to freeze and quickly replace my bank card which I’m always managing to lose. I can get a text when my balance is getting low and I also appreciate having an ISA alongside my current account. The referral scheme is also good and easy to use! I’m very happy, after switching from NatWest five years ago, I have no interest in switching again. Reviewed on: 9th April 2021

Impeccable Service every time.

5
The service given since 2010 when first account was open remains consistently high regardless of the representative providing the service. Another important trait of this bank is that its workforce is highly inclusive and diverse with balanced ethnic representation displayed throughout the corporate ladder &/or functional departments. In addition to having the best bank opening hours for its customers, thank bank also needs meritorious commendation for speed at which it provides its services which maintains a favourable footfall flow of customers entering and leaving its branches. Well done! Keep it up! Reviewed on: 9th April 2021

Up to scratch

There's always someone to speak to when you call. They sort everything out for you. The online system is secure and easy to use. A safe storage box system is very helpful. Reviewed on: 9th April 2021
