Royal Bank of Scotland Recenzje 97

Having banked with this lot for 50 years it is now the worst in the UK . The fraud team are incompetent and unable to operate

Went into my branch today in Hamilton just outside Glasgow , one of the tellers LISA was very rude to me and my husband , we wanted to change our excess US dollars into GBP, I was told i couldnt as i didnt have any reciepts even although i purchased them on line through my RBS account surely buy dollars through the RBS APP is proof enough , was also told i couldnt make a complaint as a member of staff would do it for me , i was so very upset, the reason your staff are allowed to disrespet customer is that nothing is done to them any more , thats why they do it , shocking behaviour think who your employing RBS, and look at the reviews if i had known i wouldnt have joined you

Tired of so many upgrades- takes too much memory. I have 688 Mb available-not enough.😡

Broken digital banking system and atrocious customer service.
The digital banking system isn't working and showing false balances on my account. Customer service starts with a useless AI bot, and when you demand contact with a person, the agent takes an hour to a day for each response, without any apparent understanding of the problem or willingness to address it. Once a complaint was registered, the agent ceased contact, fobbing me off to a complaints team who have yet to establish meaningful contact. After 3 wasted days, I'm totally frustrated. I've stayed with this bank for 50 years and seen a massive decline in efficiency and customer service. Time to go.

Absolute awful customer service and you have to do everything online it seems and then that fails as you can’t put all the info you want on it as you are limited to characters. They are an absoalute shambles and the staff haven’t got a clue and often fail to listen.

Process for setting up a new account is designed to be annoying in order tovget you to quit.
They just don't care.
No one contacts you, no one gives you updates, you have to do all the chasing to get things done.

Even when you raise a complaint no one does anything with it or bothers to call to speak with you.

I am now into week 2 of trying to close a reward account with RBS, so for anyone who has had similar problems here is what I did. I have converted my Reward account into a normal bank account, so the £2 monthly fee will be charged on a pro rata basis until the change. They also seem to have closed my saver account with a balance - which I do not recall transferring there! Anyway according to RBS after that I can close the account, although I am also thinking of leaving it open and setting up a standing order for £1 every month between my 2 bank accounts. I did think of every day but that is evil!! I didn't get old by being stupid - I am very mean when I am angry!

I have been with RBS for 46 years now and in fact I originally opened my account with Williams & Glynns! It’s disappointing to see so many one star reviews when mine is so much higher, but I can only rate on what I see. Yes I’m disappointed at the branch closures and the lack of contact. I do feel somewhat alienated. Having said that I have had no need to contact the bank for many years now. Given the growth of chatbots and AI, I feel that my review might be closer to one star if I had to endure them too. For now though, my review is for what I can see and it’s ok.

Dreadful experience. Their systems are slow and useless. My son is living overseas, has sold a property here, and now cannot access the proceeds of the sale to purchase a new home. He has been unable to proceed with a house purchase as they failed to resolve what should have been be a straightforward issue, despite 2 weeks endlessly on line and on the telephone. Also we will incur a £10000+ currency loss with the delays. The systems are like something from the dark ages. We cannot access our money we are told until I upload my biometric details ( voice and face recognition) but RBS/ Nat west systems are not allowing me to do that. This account, which includes my power of attorney, has been in place for at least 20 years, yet now it seems these checks are essential and my 20 year identity needs to be reproved. And I’d be happy to do that if they'd only let me. Nothing but delay after delay, and they are incapable of resolving the issues or offering any alternative solution. No one seems capable of taking any discretionary action and no one takes responsibility for anything. The managers hide. You deal with person after person and have to repeat the same details over and over again. Noone talks to each other. It’s like beating your head off a wall. I despair and the stress of dealing with this has been/ is immense, and the disappointment re the house loss huge. Do not place any money in the hands of this incompetent, outdated, customer unfriendly business. We still haven’t got our money and I’m terrified this bank goes bust before we get it. I’m having to return home from holiday early so I can go into a branch where I will refuse to leave and chain myself to the desk until they get this resolved.

Run into problems trying to open an ISA. Trying to get help insight on impossible. Every single attempt to contact them is met with a message telling me how busy they are. God forbid that they actually employ enough staff to cope. This bank does everything it can to avoid actually talking to their customers. My last attempt led to a recorded message telling me I was in a queue and that there was a 78 minute wait. No doubt big bonuses for the bosses.

**⭐️ 1 Star – Extremely Frustrating Experience**

I’m genuinely shocked at how poorly the Royal Bank of Scotland has handled my situation. They closed my account *in error*, and instead of fixing their own mistake, they told me I have to visit a branch to get it reopened. Normally that would be an inconvenience, but RBS is actively closing down their branch network — including the one closest to me. So I’m being asked to visit branches that no longer exist or are miles away, all because of something that wasn’t my fault in the first place.

Trying to get answers over the phone has been a dead end. No one seems to have any authority to resolve the issue, and I’m left without access to my own account while being sent in circles.

For a major bank, this is completely unacceptable. If they can close an account by mistake and then make it nearly impossible to fix, I honestly don’t know how customers are expected to trust them. I’m incredibly disappointed and seriously considering moving to a bank that actually supports its customers.

The AI assistance is useless, treating customers like idiots and asking irrelevant questions. Further 25 mins wait to speak to someone. Total of 53 mins on the phone, conclusion of which is that the bank didn't know how to pay me £20 from one of my own accounts

If you never need to use telephone banking the app has been good but if you need telephone banking do not use this bank

I tried for 2 hours to open a 1 year ISA _ WHAT A FAFF!
Would give -5 stars if I could. long wait times on the phone! ID online pictures and docs difficult to navigate to prove I exist! Really ! check me out elsewhere quicker like all other banks and building societies do! Then I have to wait 2 days for your system to upload so that I can complete a transfer in request!! HOW ANTIQUAINTED ! Why not ask for this info (AS ALL OTHER PROVIDERS DO)at the point of opening???? THIS bank cause SO much anxiety !! AWFUL! Obviously RBS don't give a damn as they don't even respond to complaints on this website!

Have been a customer of the One Account (formerly Virgin One) for over 22 years, but since RBS moved it to their digital banking service it has been a disaster.

I reported a lost debit card over a month ago. The replacement card arrived a week later but the new PIN has never arrived. I have tried requesting it via the online banking channel.... still hasn't arrived. I have called the helpline and requested it again.... still hasn't arrived. The helpline helpfully told me I should use the mobile app to view the PIN. But I already use the mobile app for my everyday current account which very unhelpfully has a different customer number so I can't use it for the One Account.

In desperation I deleted the mobile app from my phone and re-installed it with the security details for my one account customer number. Great..... but it still won't tell me what the PIN is for the replacement card "we're almost there, we need to run a few more checks before we can show you your PIN. Please try again later."
So that doesn't work.
SO for a month now, I have been unable to use the One account for any shopping, purchases or to make new payments. This is getting desperate. No-one on helpline seems to be able to do anything other than request the PIN is sent again..... but I simply don't believe that it has now been lost in the post 3 times! clearly there is something wrong and its not getting fixed. Who is responsible for this?

TERRIBLE the system will not accept my biometric and gives me no other way of paying a bill- yet again this bank giving lousy service. I have had several problems with their IT - this is not the first time I have had this particular problem....and I have had many others.

The epitome of scum, yet another over the phone battle to sort out yet another unnecessary event, living over seas but just completely unable to manage my RBS business. Yet another PIN code needed for what was a working account but RBS ( GnatWest) said I had keyed in the wrong numbers and all shut down. ALL LIES. Told I need to wait for yet another ATM card ( +/- 1 month to arrive) and reset the passcode. Years and years of endless incompetence, buffoonery and rudeness from foreign call centre morons that have absolutely no clue.

No support on rbs Mastercard, i have a dispute with a seller, custermer service have told me it could take up to 30 days to settle my dispute, look like I can no longer depend on them to guarantee payments anymore.

Over last 18 months, utter shambles, Disgrace Argumentative, Complaints-not dealt with and too busy

Mortgage out at risk due to false reporting with credit ref agencies. RBS blamed everyone else and found out it was their mistakes and not even a reply, nothing, Couldn’t care less

Promised a full refund from retail disputes on a bad hotel stay but then refused it. Put complaints in was just ignored. Shocking customer service its disgusting and unacceptable. You can't treat your customers like this. Accused of staying at the hotel which isn't true. Try to make excuses not to deal with the complaint to get the financial ombudsman on you instead. Sent photos as proof too.

I'd been with RBS for over 30 years, having still used my same account I opened as a child. I no longer have any accounts with them. My debit card random stopped authorising. I phoned them, RBS told me it was expiring soon and stopped as they have sent a new card (it had not expired, I'd not received a new card or been informed to look out for a new card). They sent me another new card. It didn't work online or offline. They sent me another card again. This one didn't work about 50% of the time. Apparently the address didn't always validate - despite being used at websites and shop I'd used many times before. I tired every version of my address I could think of and another worked reliably - despite working fine for other banks. This process took about 3 weeks of me not having a usable card so I closed my accounts and moved to another bank. As a sting on the tail, RBS refunded the last direct debits I'd paid to the my mobile phone provider, thus acting like I'd never paid them - and causing me to have to deal with missed payment fees.
