Review of the Kroo, Current Account:

View on product page

Scam bank

My phone was stolen and there was a fraud attempt on my account on 02/06/2024. Kroo restricted my account. I also phone and told them to block the account the same day. Good, great, happy with that! Once I got a new phone and sim I asked for this restriction to be lifted 05/06/2024. They said I had to wait until the fraud investigation is finished can take up to 8 weeks. So £32k locked up for 8 weeks. Every other bank confirms your identity and unrestricts when requested, but whatever, fine. No replies to any communication since then, you asked for an update you get a copy & paste reply saying relevant team looking into it. No information because you cannot talk to someone who knows what is going on. 8 weeks go by and nothing. No updates, no responses and only generic replies when requesting for an update. I put in a formal complaint (my fault should have done this when they didn't provide updates when requested). They come back and say they have another 8 weeks to handle the complaint. I ask for an update and get a generic reply, saying they have until 13 September to respond. Cannot get any information from the company. My complaint reference is 686375. My account is still restricted. Please can someone look into this and let me know what I need to do to get the account unrestricted or if it's going to take until 13 September a valid reason as to why? Not just a response saying someone the relevant team is looking into it. £32k locked up since 02/06/2024. Over 2 months later and nothing has been done. No updates, only generic replies. Please can something be done Reviewed on: 20th August 2024
