I’m getting generic emails all the time and nothing else. Read more Read less

I opened a pockit account as there are no banks left where I live, and it seemed easy to go to the post office to a pay point to deposit any cash into an account. I only really use the account for small cash deposits and so my parents can transfer money to me to help with food and bills, as I’m a single mum. On Sunday 1st September, my dad put £300 into my pockit account and when I went to transfer the money, a notice came up that my account was under review and I couldn’t access my money and my card is on hold. They requested various documents and information, which I immediately sent to them, and they said it would probably take 2-4 days to complete the review. I had no warning about this. I understand that some monitoring of accounts like this need to take place, but why can I not access the money first. I have emailed repeatedly and tried to find a phone number for them, with no joy. The only response to my emails are automated, and one saying that my money is safe! I have no money now, and no food! There is no other way to contact them. Their customer service is appalling and to only have an email address as a point of contact is ridiculous. I have no access to my money and no end in sight. There is a phone number on the back of my card, which doesn’t work. You are totally at their mercy. DO NOT OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH THIS COMPANY! Read more Read less

After writing such a positive email just this morning, somehow I’ve managed to change my mind. I have had pockit for 3 years now roughly and it’s been absolutely brilliant. I yesterday received a sum of money from a family member (in which I have sent you copies of messages, screenshots, all sorts) for a new car. The bank was fine, absolutely nothing wrong. Went today to purchase a car and still everything was fine. Until this afternoon, where I have had an email saying my account is under review. This isn’t a small sum of money.. I haven’t heard anything back and I’ve read numerous posts about your “reviews” online. My mental health has deteriorated massively and the worry is sickening. I haven’t the funds to pay for anything now and something needs done about it. I have collected all reviews and please believe that I’ll be taking this to the ombudsman if things aren’t sorted. It’s horrendous how you don’t even give any warning. I’d be more than happy to have my account reviewed.. just some pre warning. My family member has contacted their bank explaining that the money is legitimate and we have sent everything you’ve asked for and we are still left hanging. As a registered pockit user who even had the advances option etc, I demand a manager looks into my case asap. I loved this account and I am heartbroken that you would treat me like this as a loyal customer for almost 3 years. How dare you make me and my family feel this way with absolutely no prior warning.
