Comment on Metro Bank – the first new bank in 100 years by Ellen

I cannot wait to see what changes will actually take place through new banks opening on Britains high streets. I am more than happy to switch banks should there be both better service and decent rates in sight. At this point in time I feel I would be better off not having a bank account at all… obviously impossible, especially having recently started my own business.

I always prefer to use Kasperky over Avast or McAfee. Kaspersky is much better in detecting new viruses and it does not consume too much resources on your dektop PC.;’~

This used to be a great bank with some brilliant ideas and ways or running your account/managing your money. However, over the years all these services have been withdrawn one by one and now we’re left with the bare bones. The only service available for new customers is the savings account.
On the ocassions that I have had to contact customer service I have to say it is second to none – they are always friendly, helpful and act quickly.
I hear that Santander are unifying all their internet banking divisions across Europe (that don’t carry the Santander name) under one brand so hopefully soon we’ll have a better online bank before I switch somewhere else.

Some years ago this online bank seemed good with a good website. It had good interest rates as well. However today it is poor compared with many others. Interest rate on savings account is now under half that of the current account (unless you have a few hundred thousand pounds!). This is absurd. There isn’t any real time display of account balances – compare with NatWest for example. Faster payments is not implemented. Statements cannot be downloaded – once again compare with NatWest where 6 years is now available for download. This bank is in decline in my view and very soon I plan to cease using it.

Been with Cahoot since it started. Not too worried about how the site looks. I find it easy to navigate quick to use far better than NatWest or RBS.
Don’t understand why webcard was scrapped, Have asked numerous times why no download of account data Finally, I paid off my Flexible Loan with a £5k deposit and the facility was immediately removed. The Direct Debit pages have had all the useful data removed (last payment and amount) This bank should be No 1 by now, it was a great idea with an easy to use website…. I hope Santander restore all the above facilities, I still like Cahoot and would rather see it “improved” back to where it was rather than just rebranded… Santander take note this is a great opportunity!!

Kaspersky works better than Avg or Avast antivirus. Some viruses and trojan would not be detected by AVG but they are always detected by Kaspersky.

Cahoot only allows you to view 12 months worth of statements online, has no download facilty, instead you have to view print friendly and then copy and paste into excel. Sort it out Santander!

~ i have used Kaspersky and it is a good anti-virus, my only complain about Kaspersky is that it uses more memory compared to other anti-virus like Avast,
