How bad is your bank?

Grab your money now

The percieved credit crunch is making people question the worth of their bank.

This damning post made the accusation that NatWest Bank failed to give customer satisfaction and offered "Another Way" - join another bank.

Crap Bank Stories

Everyone must have a tale to tell how they well let down by their bank. This one invloves the strictly online bank Smile and was featured in the recent edition of Land Rover Magazine.

Online banking is a godsend for many of us with busy lives (so many pasties to munch, so much rubbish to pollute the internet with) however when it fails it really lets itself down.

Cheques are deposited into Smile via envelopes either posted or at the Post Office counter. Only on close inspection the message "no cash or foreign cheques"can be read.

When I contacted Smile to tell them that a US Dollar cheque had been paid in I was told that it was as good as toast -

Lack of professional training

It seems that the monkeys opening the deposit envelopes have no instruction as to what to do should anything other than a uk cheque be found- presumably any ready folded slips effortlessly into pockets and "dirty" foreign cheques float into the bin. I was required to request a replacement cheque while they shrugged shoulders.
