I must be the only Northerner with a Metro Bank account, going of the replies,
Come on Val A, we to balance things up a bit.
Balanced! We opened a Metro Bank account each yesterday in Peterborough. The whole thing was very efficient, easy, card produced on the premises, PIN set up, and internet banking set up too.
Obviously the best thing, for us, is the fee-free, transaction-fee-free debit card, which can be used in Europe, but also the fact that there is no minimum balance required, no minimum transactions, or number of payments into the account. The account is also free, with no monthly fee. Winners all round, for us.
For travellers to Europe Metro Bank also offer a fee-free, transaction-fee-free credit card.

Yep paul+julie, Me and Mrs Francais have our salary paid into a different joint account bank to that of Metro Bank.
I just have my works expenses paid into the Metro Bank, so only around £500 or so per month going in, which was handy when I had the N&P account, as any less would incur a £5 monthly charge with N&P.
Of course the Metro Bank account is even better, than what N&P was, with no charges at all.
When we next go to France, I will just drop a dollop of cash into the Metro Bank account, we would only use it for getting cash out of atm's whilst in France.
All our none cash purchases whilst in France go on the Halifax Clarity Credit card, which gets paid of in full each month, so to avoid interest charges.
Halifax used to give £5 cash reward for spending over £300 each month, but they stopped that around a year ago grrrrr!

Just one fairly major problem, so far, with Metro Bank. Our internet banking was set up in branch and this morning we received a letter saying that we have to 'register our details', but neither of of us have been able to do this. The system just keeps saying 'your 12 digit customer number is incorrect'. Despite a half hour call to the bank, we're having to have new information sent out. Something wrong there, as (against all advice) I wrote everything down and had it sitting here whilst on the phone. The lady on the phone said that my information was correct, as given to her, but 'somehow the system isn't accepting it'. (We did 'clear the cache' between attempts, and even tried on Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer - at her suggestion).
Anyone else had problems with setting up internet banking? And if so, did you get it sorted out.
I'll wait and see what happens when the new details arrive (in five working days!).

Val,
I had no problems with Signing in to the internet Banking. I have a Windows Phone, so cannot use their App, however I tested the whole internet banking process through my phone at the time on the setting the account, and it worked straight away. Made a test Payment (£1) to the Metro Account from my main Bank account to confirm it was all good - effectively instant , whereas N & P is next day, and then then made a test Outbound payment, also £1, and again it was almost instant.
For those that are interested, I still have my N & P account, and it worked fine this weekend in Belgium. I am going to keep using it until the Debit card Expires and they refuse to issue another one. I do pay a nominal £100 a month into my Metro bank, so I still have money, should the N & P not work whilst away.
Cheers
Nathan
