AWEFUL company! never will i will be with them. I am still in the process to log in my account. They cant fix the MP-6digit mobile verification. They treat you like a ball in a pingpong. Talk to main customer service then the local branch and different answers. Both areas will tell you to do it with main then local and no right answers all guessing! Did not solve any problem! I communicated through email and call. So dumb!!!!

I definitely do not recommend this amateur bank to anyone! They have received some awards, but the quality and professionalism of this bank is below the post office in the average country. Employees do not know their product, cannot operate an application for cellphone created by this bank (amateur app!), cannot solve problems with Internet access for long months, ignore customer e-mails and complaints, do not know English, employee are absolutely not educated (maybe elementary school). Branches are not branches because employees check everything BY PHONE! They don't know the Internet, they don't have computers - nobody knows anything only how to take your money. Outrageously slow action and ignorance in every ward! This bank is a scandal!

I tried to pay cash into my isa account the cashier said there something and he could not do it.The money was paid into my current account and I thought I would transfer into my isa when I got home.I was unable to transfer the so I telephoned Metrobank.10 waiting to speak to a person,she could not help and transfered me to second person another 15 minute wait.She was helpful but I was cut off.That could have been caused by my mobile.25 minutes just to talk to a person would help.Frustrating.I closed my isa now.

Not happy with customer support. They can not solve any of minor problems. Any. Useless. Send me to visit one of branches. But nearest one in a different town. They very easy lock your account, once you forgot your password. I have accounts with other uk banks and can compare. Service not easy and not friendly to customers. Last time i speak with support by phone and gave her feedback, girl interrupted me and said I don't know what you talking about, what you want. Metro bank, i want you to listen to your customers. This is what i want. Looks like soon will tell you good bye

Shouldn't receive any star!!!! The worst bank ever! I was getting paid by my Employer every month since 5 years Last month I didn't received my wages... When I called Metro bank customer services I was told that transfer been rejected by them as it's doesn't match name in the system... I'm foreigner and believe me - impossible to meet someone with same surname as mine in here....!!! I was advised to call my Employer ( who has another 400 employees on payroll) and advice them to make another bank transfer with name as appear on my card.... I did what's been advised... and guess what... after waiting over 48 hours ( as Staines branch manager advised that this is time for transfer to arrive to your bank account - if you banking with Metro!) transfer been rejected again! As name didn't match my bank account. It was matching for 5 years and suddenly stopped.... If you want to receive normal transfers ( max 2 hours wait) please categorically avoid opening account with Metro bank!!!!

Absolutely awful service. Spent two hours in the lobby just waiting for staff to speak with me. I tried to open an account as a Ukrainian and they spent half an hour searching on google if I come from occupied territory or not. After I provided the official UK government page for Russian sanctioned territories the manager said we do not care about UK guidance because we are a US owned bank follow our own rules. The manager promised to follow up on the matter with the head office and get back to me however it has been 3 days and the manager is not replying to any of my email.

This bank opens your account on the basis where you were born, No matter how long you stayed in UK, what passports you got Today i went to open an account when the staff checked my place of birth on my British passport, he went inside and come back and told me that because i born in a different country. We can not open your av account straight away. There is a different process for you. When i challenged him then he blamed to FCA. I will complaint against Metro Bank.

i requested a interest rate reduction for my home loan, KIM M. of loan fullfillment help me(that's what i thought). After two request, She was able to give me 0.5% reduction(from 8% down to 7.5%). Advice me to send the necessary document and pay for amendment fee before the deadline she gave, that is without giving me how much would be my new monthly amortization. To make the story short, i was able to fullfil all those requirement ahead of time. Then make follow up and ask her how much will be my new amortization rate. To my surprise, really surprise, all my expenses considering amendment fee, gasoline and toll fee is pretty MUCH bigger than what i can save with the new monthly amortization. WTF. This person(if she really is) don't know how it feels to be fooled. Imagine she wasted my time and effort for nothing and I knew she now it. I know KARMA today is already digital, i just hope that she will not encounter this kind of fooling in the future.

Outdated practices. One has to go to the branch where the account was opened to update a contact information. You need to call their hotline once your bank has updated your record. Of course, you wouldn't know that right? There is no alerts.

Company very poor performance. Reseting password is impossible. Instructions on website not accurate. PLDT phone offline for 2 weeks. Does not answer emails for months. Updating mobile phone & mobile, offline. Not sure when it will resume. Head of Branch clueless. If you are abroad, beware of Metrobank. Impossible to communicate and resolve issues. Very poor performing bank.

Metro bank restricted my account without informing me, they block my account for no reason. I called 3 times and everytime they said we will email relevent team to contact you which they didn't, then i called and told them want to close my account with mero, next day they emailed me saying after carefuly reviewing your account we are unable to continue banking with you so we gonna close your account. I didn't do anything wrong, i used my account only 5 months and i only used for shop on amazon but today i went bank and the guy said he can't see the reason on the system but it says i breached terms&conditions. He didn't give me my money back and he said he has to fill the form and send it to the head office then they will transfer the money to my other account and he would only do it if i give him my other account statment and god knows how long that's goning to take. I checked online and Metro bank is blocking all the iranian's bank account in UK without explaination. They are descreminating UK residents because they born in iran and i born in iran as well. I opened this account in 2018 but just at the end of september 2021 i started useing it, first time my account got blocked when i was buying something on etsy and this time they block when i was buying on amazon. i am a disabled person and this is how metro bank discreminated me. I have a bank accounts with Barclays and Santander for so many years and they never treated me like this SHAME ON YOU METRO BANK I HATE METRO BANK

Metrobank is so cold-hearted and ruthless. I requested multiple times for the reversal of a late charge because I paid 25 hours late due to the reason that we were hit by biggest typhoon in the Philippines and got rejected all the time. No compassion and consideration for regular people because BUSINESS for them is BUSINESS. Totally disappointed!
