Abbey have been my bank since I was 14 but after being messed around by them for so long I've had enough and have decided to change banks. Although their overdraft facilities were reasonable I was charged quite a bit for going over the limit. What really annoyed me was when I paid in cheques of a la ...

have been over my student overdraft many times (not by much tho) and i have never been charged. for example when a bill goes out and takes me over the overdraft, they usually honour the bill and i make sure money goes in in next couple of days and with no charges.

Abbey charge ridiculous amounts for going into unauthorised overdraft. They told me I was not eligible for an overdraft on my STUDENT account as I wasn't putting £500 a month into my account?!

I'm moving to a new account (hence looking on here for other reviews!)

I kept paying money in unaware that this had happened, so I wasn't told for a month and £400 later. I went in to see why my card was declined, as I'd put money in. I sat for 2 hours with a customer service member who demanded I pay the money in two weeks. They refused smaller instalments and t ...

Jackie you've really just hit upon how willing abbey are to get customers. I took a loan with abbey, they were one of the only banks to give me a loan. Great. But, I went overdrawn on my debit card by £50 for only a week. I didn't even know I could get overdrawn as I didn't have an overdraft a ...

Having been rejected by Halifax and Nat West, on a friends recommendation I decided to give the Abbey National a try. I had a student loan cheque as with the other banks, but i was treated with respect and given a current account on the spot. Decision making was in the power of the employee I spoke ...
