Metro turned us down despite already having an account

[DSLiverpool]

Interesting one the new AI Car software business needed a bank account and I’m impressed with Metro so we naturally went to Metro and we went right through everything and then a week later we got told we couldn’t have an account. They couldn’t tell me why but reading between the lines it’s because we’ll be doing a portion of our business in the UAE and apparently that was an instant no so we’ve gone to Revolut using wise pity.

My experience of Metro was awful. They were woeful. I closed my account in the end and went to Barclays. I’ve pretty much had accounts with all the high street banks and my experience is that NatWest are probably your best bet. NatWest and Barclays, I’ve always been happy with them and they have good banking apps etc too.

I’m with Nat West for my own business and Velstar had amazing support from them when we were growing. We’re with Revolut now for the car project, I’m still with Nat west and my new agency is with metro who have been fine but it’s very small.

It would be funny if AI slop was used in the decision making process for turning down your AI business account application?

Maybe humans can do some things better

This a big problem with everything going to AI. What if you get into "the computer says no" scenario which you know is bo**ocks but it becomes impossible to get to a human to resolve the problem/issue.
