Started dealing with them in 2019 and finally severed ties a few weeks ago. Appalling customer service, messed up basic stuff, could not even do basic calculation, kept getting postal address wrong, correspondence was poor. Thankfully havent dealt with them in detail lately but had to use them back in the day because of their shariah-compliant mortgage that I did not have many other options for. Started regretting from Day One!

I spoke to Fauzia/Fawzia today
Customer advisor on the telephone for al Rayan bank
She was super professional, helpful and efficient. Helped me solve my problem quickly and removed my anxieties. She is very experienced- need more like her working at our banks!

The process with this bank is: Happy to except your hard earned money. When you need your money back, you have to jump through hoops. Spend more money to try and get your money back. Customer Service is absolutely rubbish. That includes from senior to agents. Worst mistake I made, is when I invested my money with these clowns.

I have just tried to access my account to get my tax statement. I could not find anything on the web site, so try to use their chat bot, which is UTTERLY USELESS!!! You cannot get to talk to a person, just this stupid machine which does not understand anything and there is no way to get past this to a person. Really awful, useless service from this bank

I spoke to lady about adding my wife name and she explained everything what I need to do. She was very polite and very helpful. Then I was having some problem with the banking app so I called again and spoke to Gentleman and he explained to me what I need to do. Overall very good experience.

I spoke to Salina today regarding a savings account and she was so helpful and patient. She explained all I needed to do and talked me through steps I needed to take online. I was extremely grateful for her friendly and very professional manner and that nothing was too much trouble. She really is a credit to Al Rayan bank.

I needed to re-invest existing funds and extend an existing ISA. The agent was extremely patient and went through the application form, question by question. I was very impressed.

I’ve had great experiences with Al Rayan bank especially with their communication. I have one of their Savings accounts and I am very satisfied. The only negative I have is the app. It will randomly log me out at times and is very slow / laggy.

I opened a new ISA 3 weeks ago but did not appear on my digital app and the money also been taken out. I called few time and spoke with different representatives and no one gave me the satisfactory answer. Finally, I spoke with Fozeea and she took my complained seriously and sort the matter out within an hour. Well Done! Fozeea Jabeen.
Al Rayan Bank has the worst digital banking system I've ever come across - it never works! Trying to close my account is also proving a nightmare.

We had mortgaged our house back in 2021 but our name wasn't there in the land registry. I escalated this Al Rayan senior management and our request was forwarded to customer service department who finally managed to close the case. Although we were very frustrated with the delays initially, but upon identification of the issue, Al rayan's customer service closed my complain amicably. Here i d like to call for Muhammad Faisal who had been promptly updating me from time to time till the job was done.

No problems.
Have been with Al Rayan Bank for a while and have had no issues, great service, recommended.
Miss Shazia Raza answered me when I phoned for a particular query. She convinced me to consider a very good product for investment. She was very professional, friendly and addressed my concerns till I had none.
Shazia has outstanding skills and communicate very clearly.
The exemplary service I had prompted me to to encourage my son to phone her to facilitate opening an account with AlRyan Bank as he was looking for Islamic bank to invest. He was very happy with his encounter.
I take this opportunity to say thank you Shazia. You are an asset to AlRyan Bank. Thank you again for exceptional service. I promise to get you more customers.
I am writing this review to express appreciation for the exemplary work of Rizwan in the payments processing team at Al Rayan Bank. Over the past few days, I have had the pleasure of interacting with Rizwan. I have been consistently impressed by his professionalism, dedication, and exceptional abilities. Rizwan consistently demonstrates a deep understanding of customer needs ensuring that all transactions are executed accurately and efficiently. His attention to detail is remarkable, and he consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that all my financial needs are met and tasks are completed within a tight timeframe. Furthermore, Rizwan's positive attitude and willingness to assist has made him a valuable asset to your team. Rizwan's outstanding performance has not gone unnoticed by myself and our other family customers of Al Rayan bank. In the past I have never had such positive interactions with Al Rayan bank but Rizwans excellence and commitment to his work positively reflects on Al Rayan Bank and contributes to your overall success - especially through word of mouth. I believe that recognition is essential for motivating and retaining top talent, and I wanted to take this opportunity to commend Rizwan for his exceptional contributions. His dedication and hard work are truly commendable, and I am grateful to have the opportunity be served by Rizwan.
