One of the best Customer Service

Neo Customer Service team is one of the best. I had the privilege to speak with Oluwatosin, displayed an excellent customer serivce, the messages are clear and concise, respectful, responsive, and best thing is the knowledge about Neo Financial.

To all the Supervisors/Team Leaders at Neo, I give Oluwatosin a commendation.

Hi Noella, thank you for taking the time to leave this review. I was able to look into the situation based on your user name.

Neo Financial does periodically conduct reviews of all its customers’ activities. After a review of your account our team had come to a conclusion that we will no longer provide financial services to you due to violations of our terms and conditions.

You should have been sent an email about this decision, that email would be where you want to direct inquiries to.

Great listener and Empathetic to my issue.

I received very professional and compassionate customer service person. Her name is Krity, she gave me the help I was looking for and gave me some relief while I do some further investigating on my part that I can only do. Very good listener. I did wait on the phone for over 20mins before getting someone, however that is not Bay Neo's fault. She said it was a very busy night which is something no one can control, so I understood. Thank you again Kitra.

I’ve been trying to open an account for…

I’ve been trying to open an account for 5 years, but I can’t because they say someone else has my number registered. They told me that it’s my fault I got a recycled number from my carrier 5 years ago. Do these clowns know how phone numbers work? The last call I had said I should get a new phone number if I want to give them my business. No thanks, look elsewhere. Edit: it’s been a week and still nothing. The comment is quick but the action is as expected, nothing

Hi Tony, thank you for taking the time to leave this review for us. We're incredibly sorry that you have been unable to sign up with us due to your number already being associated with another account.

We take the security of our customers accounts very seriously and in this case it's likely that we have sent an email to the other account holder asking them to contact us to update the number on their own account.

We would appreciate the chance to help look into this more, and work with our team to find a resolution for you that does not involve you having to change your number. I'm going to be sending a request for more information so that we can take it from there.

Absolutely terrible experience— now with lies in their public reply

Absolutely terrible experience. Neo’s playbook is “ignore, confuse, hope they give up.”
I returned an item in-store, and the merchant processed the refund correctly, but Neo declined the credit to my card. Despite having plenty of available credit and proof of the return, Neo refused to accept responsibility and told me to go back to the store and have them “retry” the refund — something that makes no sense since the merchant already refunded me.

Why should I waste more time chasing down a refund when I did everything right? They had no problem charging me in the first place, but suddenly there are “technical issues” when it comes to giving me my money back. To make matters worse, the only explanation I got was “Other” under the decline reason, and the burden was put on me to resolve their technical failure.

If you value your time and peace of mind, stay away from Neo. It’s not worth the frustration when they mishandle your money and push the responsibility onto you instead of resolving it themselves.

Update:

This reply below is a total lie. Dishonesty deserves negative stars!

I have not received my refund — the status is still showing as “declined.” I submitted a formal complaint to Neo Financial last night, and your own team promised to contact me within 24 hours. It’s been more than half that time already, and no one has reached out. Please stop misrepresenting the situation in public replies — it’s misleading to other customers and deeply unprofessional.

More upate:

Neo Financial claims the refund was “confusion” on their part, but the transaction is still declined and the issue remains unresolved. I have now spoken with at least six or seven different agents — all of them telling me to go back to the store and “retry” the refund, even after I clearly explained there was no physical card or tap involved. At this point it appears the agents know exactly what they’re doing: wasting my time until I give up instead of fixing the issue.

Hi Jennifer,

I’m really sorry for all the confusion this caused, I completely understand how frustrating it is when a transaction gets declined without a clear explanation. I checked in with the team and I’m so glad to hear you’ve received your refund now.

In this case, it looks like the way the refund submitted triggered a safety rule that caused the decline. Your feedback has already sparked some great conversations on how we can make this process clearer and smoother.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, it really helps us get better.

------------------------
Update:

We had another case with very similar timing, where the customer received their refund a day later, and it looks like your situation was mistakenly mixed up with theirs.

I wanted to personally take care of this for you. After seeing your update, I raised it with the team and we’ve credited you $50 as a refund. This is our way of taking accountability for the back-and-forth, ensuring you’re still receiving the money back for that refund, and acknowledging the inconvenience you’ve experienced.

From what we’ve seen, the way the refund was submitted triggered a safety rule, which led to the decline. According to Mastercard rules, merchants are expected to post refunds within 7 calendar days, though in practice some may take longer. That said, it’s ultimately the merchant’s responsibility to ensure the refund is posted within that timeframe.

Thank you so much for your patience, and I have connected with you through email, if you have any other questions please do not hesitate to reach out to me there.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.. Do not do any sort of business with this organization. Apparently I have a late payment from January and they will not do shit to remove it. This is supposedly a secured CARD. YOU HAVE MY MONEY. THIEVES!!! Get a real unsecured card like normal people do. Beware of SCAMS!! Only remove is to contact both credit bureaus of 30 dollars lol.

Hi Ali,

I completely understand how stressful it can be to see late payments on your credit report. With secured cards, the deposit you put down acts as collateral and can’t be used to make payments on the card. After that, the card functions just like a standard credit card with regular payments, due dates, and reporting to the credit bureaus.

Late or partial payments are reported to the credit bureaus, but making full, on-time payments going forward can help you rebuild and regain the points you may have lost. If the late payment was for your account and was legitimately missed, unfortunately the credit bureau will not be able to remove it.

Requesting for more information to look into this further for you and to see if you need any help with your account.

Awful customer service

Awful customer service. Waiting for a long time only to be logged out every 15min, and switched endlessly between agents who cannot help me with the one simple task of deleting an account which holds $0. Just horrid.

Overly Annoying aggressive sales people

Wow. Talk about annoying staff at Neo. Was at Fairview Mall in Toronto Today and I was about 10’ away from the booth when some guy starts calling me to come over numerous times and was still chirping at me when I was about 30’ past. I had to turn around and tell him to stop. And I was only going to tell him once. They must get huge commissions for ever person they can intimidate to come in. K owing this I would never deal with them and would really encourage a boycott.

Hi H. G. , I’m really sorry to hear about your experience. That’s absolutely not the way we want anyone to feel when interacting with our team. Our goal with our mall program is to provide helpful information about our card offerings and assist with the application process, never to make people feel pressured or uncomfortable.

We’ve shared your feedback with the team so this can be addressed right away. Thank you for taking the time to let us know, it helps us improve.

Customer service reps are clueless

Customer service reps are not knowledgeable about their products and services. A simple request about cash back rewards took over an hour to resolve and the rewards were incorrectly calculated by the system.

Hi Tamara,

I’m really sorry this was your experience. That’s not how we want our customers to feel, and it sounds like we missed the mark this time. I’d love to look into this further, requesting for more information. Thanks so much!

The best card I have had

The best, as in most customer focused credit card I have ever had.

The rewards earned are reported to me immediately and another great thing is, when I make a payment onto my card, it is applied almost right away. Unlike other credit card providers who apply purchases immediately, but due to their "system" hold onto my money for four business days, before applying my payments.

Absolutely love banking with Neo

Absolutely love banking with Neo. The app is perfect. Also if you have a Neo credit card you can pay from your Neo money account and it posts on your credit card immediately. Customer service has been a 10 out of 10. Highly recommend Neo and the app.

There better then my original bank

There better then my original bank. They have many options. They keep me informed of payments I have to make. It was very quick and easy to get a credit card and there payments are the lowest on the credit cards I have seen yet. I would recommend giving them a try.

“I’ve been using the Neo credit card…

“I’ve been using the Neo credit card for a while now and I’m really impressed with how simple and rewarding it is. The cashback offers are very competitive, and I like that they partner with so many local and online stores. The app is easy to use, and I can track my spending instantly. Customer service has also been quick and helpful whenever I had a question. Overall, it’s a great option if you want a modern, no-hassle credit card with strong rewards.”

The perfect balance of tech and customer service…

I am very happy with NEO as a service provider. They have created a great product line up that meets my needs. I have been exceptionally happy with how they balance Tech, self-serve transactions and traditional customer service.
