I&#39;m also curious if anyone else is having this experience.<\/p>\n<p>I&#39;m a long-time Tangerine Customer (from the ING days) and used to rave about them. Loved the high level of service and online-only offering.<\/p>\n<p>In the last ~6 months, the service has become unusable.<\/p>\n<p>Every month or so, completely routine transactions get flagged (for example, an e-transfer to my girlfriend). Tangerine then completely freezes all of my accounts and locks me out of online banking. This includes freezing any recurring bill payments.<\/p>\n<p>To resolve the reversal, I have to call their phone line (no online option to verify transactions) and have to sit on hold for &gt;30 minutes listening to the ONE song that they play on a loop (no option for a callback when they reach your place in line, or even to sit in silence).<\/p>\n<p>The first-line representatives are unable to address frozen accounts so they have to transfer you to the security team. Often, I am simply told that unfortunately nobody is available from that team and I need to call back later.<\/p>\n<p>Effectively Tangerine is arbitrarily forcing me to spend several hours of my time &#8211; whenever they want &#8211; waiting around on them.<\/p>\n<p>All the while &#8211; my accounts are completely frozen. I&#39;ve missed Mortgage payments because it was impossible to contact someone at Tangerine to unlock my accounts. <\/p>\n<p>DO NOT bank with them. Absolute nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>Is anyone else experiencing this?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON --> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/DonutSlave\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> \/u\/DonutSlave <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PersonalFinanceCanada\/comments\/vgya5q\/do_not_bank_with_tangerine_it_is_not_worth_it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[link]<\/a><\/span> &#32; <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PersonalFinanceCanada\/comments\/vgya5q\/do_not_bank_with_tangerine_it_is_not_worth_it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><a href=\"\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming to vent some frustration in the hope that it saves other folks some trouble.
