    • Michel N. ★★★★★ Access bank what is going on today is making three days since I came there to reactivate my retrieve account up still now the account have not open I'm not happy I wanted to make use of the account for my business and now I don't know what to do is like I will come over there and withdraw all my money unblock 😡your account because he's too stressful for me I don't like it at all
    • Jesam U. ★★★★ So I filled a form to get an account with access Bank since last week Thursday and up till today I didn't even get an account number😡, so I went to the bank branch in Calabar watt market close to cultural center to check the progress because a normal bank like gtb and first bank would have given me an account number and even an ATM card on the same day I opened the account rather than keeping me waiting..... Can you believe that the so called customer service gave me back the money I was supposed to use and open the account and told me to go... Access Bank if you don't teach your customer service workers how to work you'll lose many customers in that Calabar branch because they are rude and lazy they were even badmouthing a matured man too... I just took my money + the one I wanted to deposit and went to GTbank open an account got an ATM and now I am happy.. Guaranty Trust is a goal... I think access Bank has the most useless customer service.. how can a bank grow with the kind of team there have in Calabar 😡
