I know, I am mad!
At this point I just genuinely don’t know why anybody would be banking with Metro as they’ve cut back every USP they previously had. This makes them a low quality high street bank with much fewer branches than other high street banks. I keep thinking some other bank will buy them but it never seems to happen.
I don’t get it.
Way back when, I was keen to see if Metro would launch an API as I wanted to migrate my old legacy MCI connection to API status. I suppose it will have to remain forever in my Emma account as a closed connection now, given the account is also closed!
Precisely what I’ve been thinking as well. They launched with a fanfare only to end up with the most vanilla product possible.
It was my first proper account, I used it massively until I realised there were actual perks elsewhere. Then later they kicked me out (& blacklisted) with no explanation (I was only using the account as a hub). I’ve been trying to get back in out of a mix of nostalgia, curiosity and spite, and it looks like they’ve lifted the block lately, but I genuinely can’t see any reason to join them back as a customer. Even the card is the same as 8 years ago. The newest bank on the high street, yet stuck in the past like no one else..
Snoop seems to have the integration working - but they are not listed as an Open Banking provider and we have been trying to directly contacting their 3 OB people and emailing them every other month, but no one is replying.
If this is also not OB ready, it means to fresh you need to reconnect all the time.
