Tried to open a 18 month bond. I had been a customer of the bank a few years ago and I thought there would no issues. Oh really! Status, no problem its Retired Job Title? eh? Monthly salary after tax? what! I had to fill in these fields that don't apply, why I am retired? I want to invest a lump sum, not ask for a loan. This went on with my identity documents a photo of me via the Laptap camera and them being "verified", eventually computer said "No" as the joke went and I was refused! Well done Metro Bank you just lost a lump sum that I wanted to invest with you!
