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

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

I changed bank after having banked with RBS for 35 years,I became more and more frustrated by fewer staff and continual harassment trying to force products and services on me.After careful research I chose Tesco Bank and it's honestly the best thing I have ever done Reviewed on: 1st June 2016

Easy operated bank account

Tesco Bank provides easy operated account service through the mobile message communication. It is straight forward to access the online banking functions. Unlike other big players such as HSBC, they provide new customers with very attractive interest rates for their products. Reviewed on: 24th December 2015

fab customer service and always feel up to date with services Reviewed on: 9th December 2015

No problems but lots of bonuses

This has been a reliable account for me and i have through being a Tesco customer collected a significant amount of club card points which with the various promotions means i can quadruple the value of these in redeeming them.While its customer service has gone down hill recently it does give a decent level of interest.
