Creditoagricola Reviews 24

The service is in no way what you would expect from a modern bank. My experience spans a longer period of time.

My wife was the subject of a scam and within 10 minutes of identifying this she returned to the bank to inform them so they could recall the money.
The following morning she went back to the bank and the attitude of the staff in the A Dos Francos branch was there was nothing they could do - in fact they merely told us to report the matter to GNR.
Since then (which is now 5 years ago) this bank have done nothing to assist us. My wife actually found out the other bank the monies were paid to and approached them. They confirmed what our bank should of done which clearly they were too lazy to do.
I always thought the role of a bank is to protect its customers from fraud and provide all assistance it can. Nothing could be further from the truth with this bank.

The fact they have been removed as a recognised bank with the financial conduct authority in the UK should make people ask why? What are they doing that is maybe not right? The police in the UK hit the nail on the head when they asked why would we want to bank with liars and crooks like this mob

O roubo invertido do banco pelo Credito Agricola
------------------------------------------------------------
Vivo em Portugal há anos e queria comprar uma casa aqui. Não quero uma hipoteca, então transferi minhas economias para o Credito Agricola, com a promessa de que emitiriam um cheque garantido na conclusão da compra. Agora que chegou a hora, no entanto, eles se recusam a emitir este cheque. Mas isso não é tudo: eles restringiram minha conta bancária para que eu não possa sacar dinheiro ou transferir dinheiro para pagar contas. A única coisa que posso fazer é sacar no máximo €400 por dia no caixa eletrônico. O Credito Agricola está mantendo minhas economias como reféns.

Como resultado, não posso cumprir meu compromisso com o notário, o que está me causando um dano financeiro significativo. Passei horas no banco e, embora os funcionários do banco tenham feito o melhor que puderam, até agora isso não deu em nada. Você foi avisado, NUNCA, JAMAIS deposite dinheiro no Credito Agricola. Agora sou forçado a contratar um advogado porque preciso de acesso a parte das minhas próprias economias.

The reverse bank robbery by Credito Agricola

I have been living in Portugal for years and wanted to buy a house here. I do not want a mortgage, so I transferred my savings to Credito Agricola, with the promise that they would issue a guaranteed cheque upon completion of the purchase. Now that the time has come, however, they refuse to issue this cheque. But that's not all: they have restricted my bank account so that I cannot withdraw cash or transfer money to pay bills. The only thing I can do is withdraw a maximum of €400 per day from an ATM. Credito Agricola is holding my savings hostage.

As a result, I cannot meet my appointment with the notary, which is causing me significant financial damage. I have spent hours at the bank, and although the bank employees did their best, this has so far yielded nothing. You have been warned, NEVER, EVER deposit money into Credito Agricola. I am now forced to hire a lawyer because I need access to some of my own savings.

Been with them for 20+years with little to no problems. The PT banks all vary, make sure you discuss with them the best way for your personal circumstances, as its not a one size fits all business like other countries (;

This bank needs to be closed due to their complete absense of customer service - any branch that I have been to is the same: slow, running late from their lunches, rude, no clue, unfriendly, making TONS of mistakes, nothing professional about them.
