While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 40 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Consumers frequently experienced unfair charges, unexpected late payment fees, and sudden blocking of cards or accounts without prior warning. People noted that financial transactions and money transfers are often delayed, blocked, or completely stuck while dealing with rigid policies. Some reviewers were not happy with the unhelpful customer service teams, long waiting times, and completely unresponsive phone helplines. Consumers also mentioned that branch staff provided confusing guidance, avoided written confirmations, and failed to resolve genuine concerns properly. Reviewers described the overall banking atmosphere as deeply frustrating and unprofessional, leaving many feeling entirely unsupported.

The verification process is so pathetic that they even don't know what they are asking. Like after answering all question correct they ask the silly question.
I HAVE OPEN NEW ACCOUNT AND WAS ACTIVATING MY CREDIT CARD, SO THEY ARE ASKING WHAT WAS YOUR LAST TRANSACTION? SERIOUSLY? SUCH A NONSENSE!!!

OK...their security inquiry over the phone is amazing, they don't give damn if you are calling from the registered number or even tell them every single information their security questions were just endless, and if you were telling every answer right but dare to wrong on the last question then they will say that we cant help because you were not able to clear the security questions.

PATHETIC, WORST & UM-IMAGINEABLE CALL CENTER SERVICE SCB PAKISTAN.

I WONT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO OPEN ANY ACCOUNT IN THIS BANK.

Pathetic customer service by standard chartered in Pakistan. Not just the customer service but their service is worst, no request is taken care until I call them twice or trice to get it done. I am giving one star because there is no option to proceed without it or they deserve no star....

Worst Customer Services.

They Do not have idea on how to retain customer or how to resolve customer Problems or Queries.

Just reading from a script.

also Agents are not updated on their own SOP and every one guides different Sops.
