Review of the TSB, Business Banking:

Be very careful

Ok there is my experience with TSB that I will share everywhere is possible till I get compensation or someone from TSB go to the jail for taking overpower against TSB customers!!!! For all TSB customers listening this !!!! ( and change your bank as soon as possible ) I was trying to transfer money for car that my wife purchased and that was less than £2000… while transferring money for my purchase my account was frozen (blocked) by TSB !!! I couldn’t finish my transaction and a huge deal that I had it’s gone because TSB bank won’t let me pay for my purchase!!!! Than listening this please !!!! I called to TSB bank for explanation and asked for immediately unlocking my account!!! It took me 3hours before I get someone to speak !!! Than I get questions like for what I want to pay for .. which is not a bank business to know for what is it !!! that was only £1800 not a £30k .. than finally I told them ok that was a payment for a car that I’ve seen already and like to go ahead and pay for it … TSB told me that I can’t pay for a car till I get it delivered to my address than I can call them again and they will unlock that payment ( please note when I called TSB that was Monday and car should be delivered on Friday .. so to be clear they told me that I have to wait 4-days and call TSB when car will be delivered home at Friday than I have to call TSB back tell them that car is there I’m happy and please let me pay for my car!!!! This is simply over power by Bank TSB which is scandalous and illegal !!!! There is no chance that someone will drive 360miles to mine for free to show me a car !!! I’m warning all customers!!!! Change your bank!!!! To be very clear I’m a 16-years TSB customer.. TSB never had a single issue with me!!! Scandalous!!! Reviewed on: 29th December 2024

Poor customer service

1
I've been with TSB for a couple of decades without any problems, recently they blocked my account and after several telephone calls and multiple visits they still have not unblocked it (5 days and counting). Their staff are clearly not trained to deal with customers in vulnerable situations and do not take ownership of any issues. Systematically the bank seems only to operate between 9-5, apart from basic queries no one is available to answer any questions of substance outside of these times, staffs themselves are passed from pillar to post when trying to call around to resolve an issue, if you want good customer service, a bank that responds to your needs and reacts quickly to resolve situations then go elsewhere, nowadays TSB like to say NO.

Extremely slow!

Do not go to TSB Business Banking if you are opening your first business account. They are extremely slow. By that I mean that I have applied nearly two months ago and my account is still not up and running. All my paperwork is in line with the requirements, and everything needed from me has been submitted on time, but the bank is still not opening the bank account. I had my debit card sent, as well as my checkbooks, but the account is currently not yet usable. After speaking to the support team numerous times, I have just been continuously told there are some final checks going on and the account should be live soon. This has been going on for the past month. One of the questions I have been asked last week from a member of staff was "Why have you named your business like that?". You can imagine to what extent they waste people's time. It's just a ridiculous service - I already have a pile of invoices and clients on hold to make a payment, and obviously I cannot receive the money I have worked for. Save your time and money and don't apply for a business account at TSB. Reviewed on: 21st November 2016

Friendly, helpful and easy

Whether on the phone or in branch, the staff we deal with are always very helpful and friendly. Online business banking is also very user friendly Reviewed on: 15th November 2016

Great Service

5
Always very helpful staff at my local branch who have dealt with my account setup and running very smoothly. Never had any problems or issues and the fees are explained from the start. Would thoroughly recommend. Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

Fine when nothing goes wrong

Fine for everyday banking, but terrible when anything goes wrong! Saddly dealt with some very unhelpful staff which has led to things that should have been dealt with easily enough turning into very frustrating experiences Reviewed on: 12th February 2016

Does what it needs to

TSB's business banking does what we need from it. Reviewed on: 12th February 2016

It feels personal

5
The staff actually listen and try to help you. Relationship is built on trust. Reviewed on: 12th February 2016

Bank with massive fees for using everything

2
Don't join Tsb bank as it charging massive rates for absolutely everything! £6p/m for overdraft usage £5 a day for unplanned overdraft usage if you will keep spending you will be charged £10 a day ! Shocking ! Reviewed on: 6th February 2016

Good in general

TSB offer good online facilities which I most value. More face to face staff would be a bonus when I need to head into a branch. Reviewed on: 21st January 2016
