I am extremely disappointed with the service I have received. Since opening my account a month ago, I have barely been able to use it. My account has been locked three times, and even after being reopened with an apology, it gets locked again.

What makes even less sense is that you are holding very small incoming payments of £2 and £4. This is causing unnecessary disruption to my business.

I have been reporting these issues for the past two weeks, but the problem still hasn't been resolved. This is not the level of service I expected, and it is having a negative impact on my business operations.

Please allow me to use my account without repeated restrictions. Once the issue is fully resolved and I can use the account reliably, then it would be appropriate to ask me to leave a Trustpilot review. At the moment, my experience has been very poor, and I cannot recommend your service.

I would appreciate an urgent and permanent resolution to this matter.

Thank you.

Identity theft accounts opened without our knowledge; bank refuses to investigate

Within the same period, my husband, myself, and a neighbour of ours all discovered that fraudulent accounts had been opened in our names with Zempler Bank, without any of our knowledge or consent. In my own case, I only found out by chance — after checking my credit report following a suspicious phone call from someone claiming to be from another bank. Zempler Bank never contacted me by phone, email, or letter, either before or after the account was opened, and I never received any card linked to it.

When I raised a formal complaint, I was told the account had been cancelled, but that no further investigation would take place. I specifically asked what had happened to the card that was reportedly sent to me — I never received it, and I have since confirmed with Royal Mail that no mail redirection was ever set up at my address — but this was never properly answered.

Zempler Bank’s written response confirmed that their identity verification for this application relied solely on an electronic match against personal details (name, address, date of birth) held by a credit reference agency, with no document check or direct contact with me as the account holder. Given three of us in the same small area were affected around the same time, I have real concerns this may not be an isolated failure, though I can only speak to what happened to us directly.

When I formally complained, Zempler Bank told me I was an “ineligible complainant” and declined to investigate further. I don’t accept that a firm can simply decide a victim of identity fraud has no right to have their complaint looked at, and I am now referring this to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

If you’re a Zempler Bank customer, or considering opening an account, I’d strongly encourage you to check your credit report regularly — none of us would have found out otherwise.

This is not a bank,be aware if this if you are looking to open an account with them,I think they work with scammers to scam there customers and instead of helping you recover your money they will immediately block your account which is what they’ve done to me and gave me 25 days to get everything sorted and is now over a month and nothing was done.I have lost customers due to this,so please do not take the risk.

Extremely disappointed with Zempler Bank’s account closures and total lack of communication

Extremely disappointed with Zempler Bank’s account closures and total lack of communication

I am writing to formally complain about the unexplained and poorly handled closure of both my personal and business accounts with Zempler Bank (Reference: 80000100785148).

My personal account was closed three months ago, and to this day I have received no explanation for the closure and no indication of when funds or account status would be resolved. Now, my business account has also been closed, just a week ago, again without any prior notice, explanation, or communication from the bank.

As a customer, I am entitled to know why my accounts have been closed and what timeframe I can expect for any resolution, including access to my funds. Closing accounts without notice or explanation, especially a business account which directly affects my livelihood, is unacceptable and has caused significant disruption and financial stress.

Hi Mitchie, We're sorry that the decision to close your account has been made and can appreciate how frustrating this must be for you. After looking into your account, a business decision was made to close your account and unfortunately, there is no further information to provide to you regarding this closure. I appreciate this may not be what you were wanting to hear and I'm so sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. Please let me know if you have any further queries. Kind regards - RO
