Review of the thinkmoney, Current Account:

Disgusting service

My partner was sent correspondence in respect of the new App and a new card. I did not receive any correspondence from TM. When the new App went live card was stopped and I could not access my money. Neither could I log into the new app as it did not recognise my details. The details to log in where my date of birth, my account number and email all of which I know and relate to me. My partner has had no correspondence about authorising me accessing our joint account on the app. Furthermore I would question why that would be the case given that it is a preexisting account that we both had access to via the old app. Neither could I get through to TM it took my around 6 days. I was the assured that a card would be sent out in the next 5 to 10 days. When I advised that this was not acceptable given that I work away and need access to my money I was told that it would be sent out that night. I am still waiting for said card. In the conversation the person was apologetic and a discussion was had about an investigation and potential compensation. TM has sent another card that arrived this Thursday the card is in my partners name, she already has a new card. After multiple calls and emails asking in fact begging for a call back as your phone lines are impossible at best the of times, I finally got an email response saying our card change is not normally like this and we have a high volume of calls. Given that we pay for a monthy fee for the pleasure of an accout with TM. I do not feel that i should have to chase TM. I do not accept the fact that you were receiving a high volume of calls or problem with the new app as a reason for me not been able to access my own money in my account. I am disappointed beyond belief with the service I have received. Due to incompetence I have had to use my credit card whilst working away, occurring intrest. You keep asking for more details in your response. I am not sure what more you require given the lack of correspondence. Reviewed on: 10th December 2023

Unbelievable incompetence

Scammers?

Terrible customer service think money have nothing but contempt for the customers, they will steal thousands of pounds out of your account without any explanation or contact,I would beg people to avoid this fake bank before they ruin your life Reviewed on: 7th August 2021

great for basic banking

A great account to keep you on track, but beware that the card issued on the account is prepaid card wich means your bank can not be verified by credit searches, and as such you can NOT apply for credit products using this account, or use any of the slice payment systems such as zilch, clearpay etc Reviewed on: 7th August 2021

Can Send Money Anywhere Anytime Apart From Where I Want When I Want

Ring up to do do an international transfer they say. So I did - Tuesday morning at 9am. Got through to someone at 9.25am. 'You will be called by lunchtime by the appropriate team.' Lunchtime - no response. Called. Told 'Call back promised by end of business banking...' Nope. Following day - 8am called, 8.10am registered a complaint. Told I would be called back that day. Lunchtime, still no response. (Called 11.30 - got through at 11.55 - was told, after 3 attempts of agent trying to connect me to team unsuccessfully - that the team had been messaged, were aware of me, and would call me.' Two hours later - still nothing. Called again, tried to put me through again, no response, will call me back. Now, day 3 and 2.30pm and still no call, still no transfer, still no support, 'but they are aware of you...' How hard is it to pick up a phone for crying out loud. Shocking. Their customer service hold statement: 'Use the Think Money App to send money anytime - anywhere....' MISLEADING - ANYWHERE IN THE UK IT SHOULD SAY!!! Avoid. There is much better out there. Angry, annoyed, frustrated, had to call several times, and absolutely terrible, considering I can send money anytime, anywhere, yet can't send to where I want, when I want.

THINK MONEY

This company is so incompetent and misleading, im absolutely baffled what the charges are for on the account because the service is extremely poor, the time frames set for dealing with issues are never met, the staff just tell you anything to get you off the phone,after nearly 3 weeks i am still waiting for correspondence regarding an unauthorized payment and a complaint i raised 2 weeks ago still havent been contacted despite the 3 day time frame .... i have opened another account and cant wait to receive a professional forthcoming service Reviewed on: 21st May 2021

Rubbish

Shit banking system and no one to speak to Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

AVOID THHIS BANK AT ALL COSTS!!!

AVOID THIS BANK AT ALL COSTS!!! They charge a £15 a month (originally £17.50), for their 'services' which to be honest, many other banks offer for FREE or actually give you interest for. If we are going into the next major recession you may wish to save yourself nearly £200 a year. I was obligated to change to ThinkMoney through a Gregory Pennington debt consolidation plan. Sure they offer some discounts and perks. Sometimes okay but very often ridiculously long wait times to phone, (today 33 mins though understandable with CORVID I concede but his was the case way before this year sometimes) and if your living hand to mouth just to ask them to give you some available funds so you can eat that they try to put aside for the fee asap. Sometimes polite but often pretty abrupt and rude. Honestly, save yourself a buck and go with someone else, I've wanted to change since before lock-down, only myself and my credit rating to blame that I cant easily switch. I ruffly calculate I've paid them nearly £1500 the past seven years for the privileged of asking them to hold off on my management fee when I've got some basic income and need to prioritise my own funds. It just feels like a scam TBH that I should have got out of years ago! so no, don't fall for their 'business model' and spread the word. I guarantee they wont put this one on the front page.

saved me from debt Crisis

one of the most amazing Personal Accounts I have ever had. Reviewed on: 24th June 2020

AWFUL

An extraordinary amount of system problems.. Cards regularly not working, often out of hours leaving me stranded with no cash to get home. Passcodes never send on a Sunday and often during the week leaving me unable to transfer money. " passcodes and passwords needs to be entered twice for every action on online banking, would be quicker to just drive to the bank. Takes an hour a least usually to get through to someone by phone. The worst company and customer service I have ever experienced in my entire life. Reviewed on: 7th June 2020
