No empathy or flexibility whatsoever

At the same time, I renewed a fixed-term savings account with Metro. When I was later told that I had to pay a much higher stamp-duty, I asked Metro to close the account and get access to my money. Because the cool-off period had elapsed and my situation was not “hardship” I could not get access to the funds until the expiration date. I escalated the issue because of an unforeseen situation that impacted my whole family, willing to forego due interest. Some weeks later…hold your breath…. a fat “No”, just as before. The same explanation. This is a bank trying to square a circle. ON the one hand it wants to be a “relationship Bank”, noting that under Principle 12 of the FCA it needs to ensure that “consumers can be confident they a re dealing with firms where the fair treatment of customers is central to the corporate culture”, while on the other hand it proved to me that my custom is not important and that my concerns are dealt with a checklist and a “computer says no” attitude. No empathy or flexibility whatsoever. I am disappointed, will move my money out asap and tell everyone I know how poor you are. Metro Bank is to be avoided. Read more Read less

I have been with Metro bank for over six years now, and it's been a breeze really. The app is easy to navigate and self explanatory. Every time I needed to go into my local branch I have always been helped promptly. The app is so easy and complete that one hardly ever needs to phone them up or go to a branch. Overall I'd recommend Metro Bank Read more Read less

I love metro bank I have been a customer since I was 11 years old they are a great financial institution but over the last year they have removed some great features that other banks didn’t have to offer such as their in store card printing service which was very convenient in the unfortunate incident of losing a card instead of having to wait for 5 working days to get a new one I could pop in store and get a new card within 5 minutes and another unfortunate thing with metro bank is their operating hours they used to be open from 8am to 8pm 7 days a a week but over the last years they have reduced their hours significantly and are also now closed on Saturdays and Sundays Read more Read less

    A great place to have as your bank.

    Never had any issues and their support are always helpful if I’ve had any queries.

Banking with metro bank for over 10 years. Customer service from all staff (phone and in branch) are excellent and English speaking. Atomsphere in the branches are unique and friendly. Queues have always been minimal. Quick and easy to get new bank card when lost, relaxed and trendy service but safe and secure. Everything is easy to set up from ISA's, savings to current accounts.

    No waiting for replacement debit card

    I lost my debit card. Popped into the bank and they issued a replacement straight away. Staff were very pleasant and efficient.
