52(%)cents wielding the axe. He has to.
Just been notified.... branches have agreed to Saturday shortened open hrs - to appease the SDB and W/E customers - I'd suggest.
Someone is not paying attention to details, specifically "with immediate effect" and "interim", this normally means urgency and some sort of mess-up.
Muppets
Chief Financial Officer James Hopkinson agrees to step down
Not up to the job time to go
Clear out the dead wood as they say our new boss will streamline Metro slowly putting the cogs in place to turn Metro around.
Well i hope
They are all jumping the sinking ship in to dingies. No doubt they will at Dover!!
Reshuffling has commenced ?
M3leki what do you not understand about what I asked them i think this is a simple request I told them that I wanted an account that I could check in the internet, put money and cheques in and take money out cash to spend ANYWAY lol.
Its not metro bank fault if you need a card to put money in it must come from your other account to metros account
Sounds like you didn’t specify how you want to put money in or take money out. Society is moving to a cashless environment so that’s the natural assumption.
Sounds like you didn’t specify what you want clearly or how you want it.
What was the reason that you would not get a card
I went in to METRO in Leicester to open an account with a good interest rate I told them that I wanted an account that I could check in the internet, put money and cheques in and take money out cash to spend ANYWAY lol.
I got back down south again and tried to put cash and a cheque in this account from a post office gave them my account No ect and was told that without a card I could not do it. SO RANG up metro and they said that you will not get a card .
WHAT A LOAD 0F CHOCOLATE TEAPOTS NO WONDER METRO SHARE PRICE IS A DOG . If they cant sort a simple request for an account how can they run a bank LOL .???
Many people he said like to go at weekends and considers that they are likely to cancel their contracts and move to independent safety deposit box companies.
I am sure they will lose some customers
But i think the savings will be bigger on opening hours for staff plus the redundancies of staff
time will tell as i see Metro as a good recovery play at this price imo
There's another bit of an issue with these new hrs according to a branch manager I spoke to.
Namely, safety deposit box holders unhappiness.
Their rentals pay 70% of branch costs.

Well Metro needed to start the revamp cost cuts were needed. I thought & been told Metro are the best out there for business bank holders.
Understandable but not great. Metro has always been tops for customer service. Currently up to 7p weekdays and open sat/sun. A big store right next to a large shopping centre. Now just another bank.
Not a shareholder but a business bank holder. Will be moving my account in April.
Changes to our opening hours
We’re getting in touch to let you know that we have decided to change the opening hours of our Eastbourne store from 29 March 2024.
The new store opening hours will be:
Monday to Friday from 9.30am to 5pm
Cyber at times you do come across as pompous. JJ
The carlyle "bid" was never a bid yet was RNS'd. But thanks for that Insight lol
You surely don't believe it was an offer; more likely a discussion with no figures to support, consequently no reason why shareholders should expect a RNS. I would not place much credence to what 'Bob' has to say. JJ
So just read comments from Bob Diamond that Barclays offered to take Metro private in 2020, unless I've missed something this was never flagged to shareholders, more corrupt goings on with this bank, can get away with what they want, absolute disgrace https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/bob-diamond-says-barclays-radical-135126329.html
Looks cheap but I will wait until end of feb for more updates before buying
Looks cheap but I will wait until end of feb for more updates before biying
In for a Punt as Metro with a 271mil market cap looks cheap if they come in with a 30/50mil profit for this year while they are restructuring the business
It does look as if all the sellers are done..Lots of buys but nothing huge yet.
Up 5% today ... Could this be their renaissance!? Oh yes it is, oh no it isn't ...
