“I have been with Macquarie bank for 8 years now and am very disappointed in the direction they are going”

I have been with Macquarie bank for 8 years now and am very disappointed in the direction they are going. Service is declining, mortgage interest rates amongst the highest in the country. I will be re-financing very soon.

“worst customer service of my life. Received two e-mails telling me to call after fraud on my account”

worst customer service of my life. Received two e-mails telling me to call after fraud on my account. Spent 1.5 hours on the phone to be told my dispute number. I am in the UK with an 11 hour time difference. So I was doing this all at midnight. Shocking.
