Have tried 3 times to transfer my ISA…
Have tried 3 times to transfer my ISA to another bank. Numerous phone calls to be told different things every time. The most recent call today with my CISA Numbers for requested transfers was just as frustrating. Apparently they do not exist. 35 days for a reply from the complaints department leaves me no option but to go to the ombudsman to try and get my own money. Transfers rejected because apparently I do not have an ISA account. Frustrated does not even begin to describe how I feel after my last call.

Dear Mrs. Hamilton,
We understand your frustration with the difficulties you've experienced transferring your ISA. As our ISA Team has explained, we have yet to receive the transfer request initiated by your ISA provider. To assist in resolving this matter, we kindly recommend confirming with your provider that all details are accurate and correctly submitted.
While our Complaints Policy is designed to thoroughly investigate and provide a final response within 35 working days, we would like to assure you that our Complaints Department responded to your email yesterday.
We value your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this matter promptly.

Creating new recipients is next to impossible
I use ubluknetremit dot com to send money from UK, but it is extremely difficult to create new recipients. Every other bank requires just a name and IBAN. But this website requires the entire personal biodata of the recipient. DOB, CNIC, address, etc. Still in the 20th century.
Tried to send them a message from the mailbox in the website, but it keeps blanking out the message. Looks like no one has QAed this website.
Update: I used Western Union. Straight froward. Just needed the name and IBAN. Just two things. No need to bother the recipient asking their personal details.

They don’t need your business
I’ve tried to open an isa using there app but on every occasion it will not work saying “oops something gone wrong” but so you go through putting all your details in again only to get “oops something gone wrong “ which is very annoying as you spend so much time inputting the information and photo I’d in several times it easier to take a lower rate than deal with them
