TOP INSIGHTS

A weekly roundup of Metro Bank Mobile Banking's key feedback

1

App Update Loop

A significant number of users, approximately 15%, report that the app is stuck in a continuous update loop, preventing them from accessing their accounts. This issue persists even after reinstalling the app, rendering it unusable for affected users.

The app keeps updating over and over, making it impossible to log in.

2

Transaction Limits

Around 10% of users, particularly business customers, are frustrated with the unclear and restrictive transaction limits, which hinder their ability to make large payments efficiently. This issue is exacerbated by the lack of communication regarding when limits reset.

I can't transfer more than £21,000 at a time, and there's no information on when the limit refreshes.

3

Account Closure Process

Approximately 5% of users find the account closure process cumbersome and time-consuming, requiring multiple steps and interactions with customer service, which leads to dissatisfaction.

Closing an account is a multi-step process that can't be completed in one day, contrary to what customer service claims.

4

App Glitches and Crashes

About 8% of users experience frequent app glitches and crashes, particularly during mobile deposits, which disrupts their banking activities and causes frustration.

The app crashes almost every time I try to make a mobile deposit.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The online bank is a joke for businesses. Allow us £21k a day and stops you from making payment as soon as you have made over £6k payment in one day. Brought it up so many times with account manager and nobody knows why it happens and we have to put up with it every day. You should learn from Lloyds software.
Jay Guha
Metrobank was once the best service provider in the UK retail banking sector. Stores were open late, you could get a replacement card while you waited and get through to staff on the phone line. All of that has now gone. Staff are unhelpful, branches are hardly open and policies are designed to thwart and not help its customers. Don’t bank with Metrobank.
Metrobanksuck
For a modern challenger bank these guys are way behind. Can’t even pay business taxes directly to HMRC - like any other bank. The app is an afterthought and has limited functionality. They even require paper documents to be submitted. Incredibly disappointed overall.
