Good for simple matters but useless for complicated issues

2
I would hope that most people could look at the FAQ's and other information on the site to answer most questions so those who have to "AskCora" must have more complex enquiries? The wretched thing asks the same questions over and over again when none of the options are appropriate, then ask you to rephrase the question when you know that will not help. FINALLY you get put through to an agent, however that can take up to 20 minutes for one to become available as "We are experiencing high demand" WHICH HAPPENS EVERY TIME (Get more staff!). Other "Chat" facilities tell you where you are in their queue and what your likely waiting time is going to be (so you can decide to give up) or take a number to call you back when an agent is finally free? Cora does neither! Reviewed on: 23rd February 2023

A wide array of helpful options

4
It offered a wide array of potential solutions but my answer wasn't there, perhaps I didn't word it correctly. As long as I could get a hold of a person then I'm happy. Other places of improvement could be: faster messaging - it seems there was an artificial delay between some answers which may help some people but I don't think it was necessary. Also I would have liked to have the option to be redirected to an agent if the first query was not answered. Reviewed on: 23rd February 2023

Switching

I just went around in circles without getting an answer for my specific problem. I gave up without switching as I needed to speak to a person. Very annoying! Reviewed on: 22nd February 2023

Quick and easy

Cora is a very easy to use support tool, Cora acts more like a friend who you can talk to in an informal way. Cora makes asking any question easy and even offers suggestions. Reviewed on: 22nd February 2023

utter failure

1
I have just wasted 45 minutes trying to get a simple answer to a very basic question, how do I get an email address to write to head office? Reviewed on: 22nd February 2023

CORA is unable to solve ANY issues with all its limitations

1
I have NEVER been able to solve even the simplest issues with CORA. It is just AWFUL and just another barrier to providing live customer service Reviewed on: 22nd February 2023

Ask Cora is user unfriendly

1
I've been battling with Ask Cora for weeks and all you do is run around in circles. RBS has gone backwards, it gives the impression it doesn't want to communicate with it's customers. Reviewed on: 21st February 2023

CORA IS NO GOOD BEEN WAITING 37 MINS NO REPLY

VERY BAD TIME NO REPLY AT ALL VERY BAD Reviewed on: 21st February 2023

t seems impossible to get in contact via e mail, Cora is utterly useless

1
I received an e mail stating that the Visa will be replaced by a new Mastercard and to verify my address. I entered digital banking but there is nothing to actually veryfy it. My address is all the same, nothing has changed, so after that I tried to chat with Cora, which is useless and trying to get a live agent is impossible. The last thing I had was Agent is typing and that is now quite a while ago...what is Cora typing?? Useless your CORA Reviewed on: 21st February 2023
