They stole my money

1
Transferred £1600 to Pockit account and the money never appeared. When I contacted them about this they suspended my account. Now it's impossible to contact them. Reviewed on: 27th June 2022

Parasites

I have met some monumentally stupid people in my life but pocket are in another League. Blocking my account until I prove where the money comes from.... It CLEARLY says DWP - Department of Work & Pensions. And disability allowance. That's the government you fools. If they have sent me money fraudulently then block Borris's account, not mine. You've been happto receive the payments until now. I need that money to live on you. Parasites. Reviewed on: 31st May 2022

Had a payment go into my account of £3,660

1
Had a payment go into my account of £3,660, and was told it would clear Friday, if not the next day, it is now Monday, the payment is still pending, i have been told it was escalated to another team. Pockit can not give me a time frame for when this team will get back to me. Also an update: Lily: You have been fully advised on this issue should you continue to come through live chat regarding this we will treat this as spam and will need to take further action.

Ridiculous Customer Service & Worst Financial Company Ever

1
I always try my utmost to be honest and sincere with reviews, as well as detailed in summary, but I feel like exploding after half a decade and still not having my money returned! Without exaggeration, this organisation is the worst I've ever experienced - in all manners and every aspect. I've been treated like absolute garbage by their so-called "customer support". I've been repeatedly lied to, (yes, lied and not mistakenly advised), and lost all the money I had in this awful account. After sending dozens of documents, I was repeatedly told they needed more. I was asked for x documents, sent them, then asked for different ones. This happened repeatedly and I'm not a low-iq reprobate. I've been lied to, shouted at, laughed at and hung up on. This company should've never been allowed to continue after their first cases started coming out - still under investigation and operating! STEER CLEAR OF THESE FRAUDS! Reviewed on: 11th May 2022

MOCKERY OF A BANK, THEY ARE NOT HERE HELP YOU

1
First I want to quickly mention that pockit do not have a customer service phone number that allows you to talk to a human being but only have a live chat where you can talk to a bot or a email account with extremely badly worded and slow reply’s and for this alone you should not use this service. I have had a pockit account for just under 2 months and have been very careful to pay attention to there in app limits, I have had various transactions ranging from a few hundred pounds to the largest £2400. This deposit of 2400£ was made into my account just under a month ago and my account has been under review ever since, i sent them countless emails trying to find out the problem to which they provided no information but asked for various personal documents from me and the sender of this transaction, including full bank statements from other banks which I found very unusual but still I complied. After receiving these documents they have told me they cannot give me a time scale for my issue to be resolved and then after that the documents I provided are not good enough and requested the same documents again, I continued email correspondence with them to which I only received 1 reply every 24 hours, and reply’s where only sent by them on Mondays-Thursdays. After becoming fed up with there disgraceful customer service and without the option to talk to a human being as they have no telephone number I sent an email requesting they close my account after seeing other customers retrieve there balance this way. Since this they have not replied to any of my emails and I have been waiting on any response or information from them on what will happen to my money for now almost a month. Because of this I have had significant financial issues since opening the account and still do not know what will come of this I am contacting an ombudsman and recommend anyone with similar issues with pockit do the same. This level of disregard to there customer base is completely unacceptable for any financial service and it completely baffles me that what they are doing is seemingly not illegal or just not being enforced by any financial conduct authority DO NOT USE THIS BANK THEY ARE NOT HERE TO HELP YOU. This is the worst banking experience I have ever come across Reviewed on: 11th May 2022

Appear to have lost £5000 of my money

Opened an account as a side account for trips etc. Tried to put £5000 in to it. Never arrived, 6 weeks later still says "pending". They say it's being sent back to the source account, but they've been saying this for over a month. Quite surreal that this happens in 2022. Reviewed on: 3rd May 2022

SCAMMERS

Unbelievable what (pick) pockit bank are doing to people, they took my money and are trying to tell me they paid me back and are refusing to provide any evidence for this. 2 years my account been blocked. Blocked me from social media so I couldn’t spread the word and save others from getting robbed. They was investigated for fraud last year also. Be very careful of these Pockit thieves Reviewed on: 12th April 2022
