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:

Avoid

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

Good basic rates

Easy to sign up. Good basic rates. Can manage online efficiently. Reviewed on: 25th August 2015

Decent Interest Rates And Clubcard Points Too!

The interest rates aren't as good as some of the other current accounts. But still, 3% on balances up to £3000 isn't bad, and if you use your debit card to pay every time you shop in a Tesco store, the Clubcard points soon add up. Reviewed on: 25th August 2015

Requires minimal supervision

I went into the process of opening a Tesco Current Account thinking it would be a bit of a novelty. I found Tesco staff highly knowledgeable and willing to help. The account requires minimal supervision to run. Would recommend. Reviewed on: 9th August 2015

Very good

Always easy to contact and helpful Reviewed on: 17th July 2015

It's very safe and welcoming.

It's a very safe company on the whole, I trust them a lot and it's an amazing place, believe me. I enjoy being with people that I can trust and it's very good and I love it so much and I wouldn't change the company for the world it's absolutely perfect and I appreciate what they're doing. Reviewed on: 29th April 2015

service is good shame you cant use each store to bank

We used to be able to deposit cheques in any big store now we have to go to the huge one which is miles away. Costing more in time and petrol. Reviewed on: 24th March 2015

Convenient and refreshing

I signed up for a new tesco current account and have been pleasantly surprised by the service and the extra club card points are a nice bonus Reviewed on: 15th October 2014
