Der opstod en teknisk fejl Venligst prøv igen senere. That's all I get. Month after month, when trying to set up automatic payment. No complaints other than that.

In addition to my previous problems with this outfit just to let you know somehow they have won contracts for reputable companies such as Tesco finance god knows how,more misery for the unsuspecting.The company i used was a company called PRESTIGE MIDLANDS LTD {A double glazing company. } Its also to be noted if you google IKANO the CEO got sacked ! Just beware !! Theres a reason why most reviews only give them ONE star !! Read them before you commit !!
I took out an Ikano loan in March 2019 with retailer Evergen Solar. This was supposed to be interest free till 31st March 2020.
However, being self employed, I recently called Ikano as my income was now zero due to the Coronavirus. The customer agent said he would freeze payments for three months. Which was great, giving me piece of mind for some time.
However, a few weeks before calling to suspend, I suspected, something was off. I requested that I get all standing order and debit card payment history prior to being charged interest in March 2020.
I have received, my payment history and Ikano has been charging interest during the interest free period. This is totally disgusting, downright dishonest.
The worst thing is that a number Ikano team members have reviewed my account and not one of them saw that I was being charged interest.
I even had letters from ikano's complaints team stating they could not see any issues with account. I believe your advisors reviewing need training or it could be the case this is normal practice.
Please read Ikano.dk response, it sums up the bank, it does not make a difference if it's Fxxxxx ikano.uk or Ikano.dk. Fxxx off Ikano Bank.

Failed to update address then put a default on credit file saying not paid even thought full payment was taken - Didn't investigate the complaint, even the response letter had incorrect details in it - should be struck off
Wouldn't recommend. Got charged £25 for a 'gone away fee' which is basically because I didn't update my address when I moved so they charge you £25 for returned mail. I know it's probably my fault for not updating my address but can't help consider £25 a theifing for a letter being returned. Seems like an easy way to make money.
Have taken out a loan with DFS and now trying to contact Ikano. Been on line in queue with initially number 21 and then al of a sudden number 90. Thought I was hearing things so hung and tired again and yes again started from being in queue at at number 16 to jumping to number 40. Seriously. My 1st experience with the
Is bank is disgusting.

It's a shame others have a less satisfying experience. Don't be necessarily put off though.
I have just finished paying off my 2nd loan with them and have had no problems at all - in fact I have been kept informed very well, from immediate email confirmations, DD payment schedules and a "final payment" listed on my bank statements.
Setting up and letting the payments run their course has been completely issue free for me.
If it helps, the companies I had used were Harveys (furniture) and Vision Express, both dealt with the initial set up and all was good with both!

Hi, I signed the loan contract yesterday and after that I did not receive any sign from the bank, How many days it takes to enter the money in the account?

Reply from Ikano Bank Danmark
Firstly I have used this company in the past no problem at all plus paid off ! This week I had to take interest free credit for my new glasses at the vision express store... The process on the system were somewhat very slow to respond and blank screen appear ... I received text and email to say it is in the process so this left us find very odd ..... The store have tried to contact them and no avail to answer.. 3 days later still no answer and I have been checking online still no change so my last resort is call them myself. Discovered that they have already declined 3 days ago and can’t be bothered email either myself or supplier.. I said well there is some mistake I will go back reapply again Ikano customer services said don’t bother it will effect your score I told her my credit file is clean no default no late payment no error and I am looking at it now !!! They advised me appeal it ! What the point appeal and wait further for the outcomes if they can’t be bother give us an answer there and then but post a letter a week later... If you going accept or decline answer it not make it surprised .... Totally rubbish
Not consumer friendly, Requested a redemption via mortgage broker several other redemptions arrived from other creditors with no problems,but IKANO were awkward to the point that my remortgage was held up by them.Then as a consequence of them holding things up the mortgage company overpaid the IKANO account.Ikano now saying that they won't release funds from account because the mortgage company will have to request the money back as they overpaid.
