Now just another pointless current account Once very attractive bank with great savings accounts, now just a dead duck like so many others. Shame because every little did help Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Review of the Tesco Bank, Current Account:

Fantastic

A serious company more than serious Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

great company

I have had a lot of bank accounts in the past but this is by far the best Reviewed on: 25th November 2018

does the job very nicely

I love banking with Tesco. The app is easy to use and very slick. They always message me if my account is low and there is a chance of a direct debit going unpaid therefore avoiding charges Reviewed on: 22nd November 2018

good interest

good interest up to £4000 on current accounts loans special rates for members and extra club card points with Tesco debit and Tesco debit card banking 7 days a week not all banks can say that Reviewed on: 7th November 2018

Horrendous bank will not protect your hard earned money if we're scammed your account can be empty in hrs I'm talking not hundreds I mean thousands and no checks or anything done unlike other banks were suspicious activity or large amounts leaving accounts they contact you straight away to check this is you making transactions tesco don't do anything and making complaints I made one 8 weeks ago still no response or has been dealt with they must have backlog of complaints to take this long get told they will call you back never happens all banks have procedures to protect customers money that's why you put in a bank i didn't want a overdraft as don't like debt well these give you no choice they pay for things on your behalf without asking and get you in a negative balance and Then to charge you huge interest fees even though there was nothing in account to pay for it they do it now in negative balance £1000 then to keep phoning threatening with actions disgraceful they have ruined my life also my kids future what bank pays for something on your behalf when no funds in account to pay for it then to get you In a negative balance of £1000 and then to charge you for it when you didn't get asked or wanted it paid or agreed for overdraft then to constant phone calls see they can call when they want something but in regards to my complaint nothing I would absolutely avoid this bank read reviews before committing your hard earned money in to this joke of a bank wish I read reviews I would of never put my money in to it wish I stayed with my old bank what have your money totally protected when just a couple of transactions they do checks straight away and deal with anything straight away and anything is not a problem the staff at tesco bank have a carnt be bothered approach and don't care talk to you like your stupid and when rang about a statement they said not on my account so did I get someone else's statement? Total joke Reviewed on: 12th September 2018

Avoid

Failed to protect my £70,000 this bank allowed card payments of £70,000 to be used in a couple of hours with no block or hold on card my other banks after two three thousand pounds put hold on and contact you by phone or txt this bank failed to protect myself and my money disgraceful I informed them on phone I have a disability and I'm vundrable adult and now with there no protection on your money noe have nothing this bank needs investigating why nothing is done to protect customers savings like any other bank would do Reviewed on: 15th July 2018

Good Interest rate and app

Very good mobile app and good interest rates.24/7 bank at big tesco extra Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Great - as long as you don't need counter service

Everything's pretty good, but don't try paying in cheques/cash in-store. Three times I've tried and twice there were truly incredible problems. Once I phoned to (gently) complain afterwards but the bank said, 'Nothing to do with us - if you want to complain you'll have to take it up with the store' ! Reviewed on: 24th November 2017

High Interest - Easy current account to use

A very easy account to use and guaranteed 3% interest until 1st April 2019. The bottom line is, that high interest is not easy to get currently, so well done Tesco Bank. Reviewed on: 19th November 2017

Reliable banking

Great service and products. The staff are friendly and the current account is simple to use. Reviewed on: 18th November 2017

Current Account

A great current account with interest paid on amounts up to £3000.00 Reviewed on: 9th November 2017
