Alpha Bank Reviews 

One star because there is no zero star. The once good CreditBank has turned out today to be a joke. Nothing can be done on the phone, they tell you to go to a brach. I asked them why I cannot check the account transactions through internet banking, they replied I cannot check beyond the last 18 months.
Μηδέν αστέρι δεν έχει γι΄αυτό σας δίνω ένα. Η παλιά Τράπεζα Πίστεως με την κάποτε καλύτερη εξυπηρέτηση έγινε σήμερα ανέκδοτο. Δεν μπορώ να δώ τις κινήσεις του λογαριασμού για το έτος 2017, να ελέγξω δηλαδή αν η Εφορία μου επέστρεψε κάποια παράβολα, αλλά, λένε στην δήθεν τηλεφωνική εξυπηρέτηση, ότι πρέπει να πάω σε κατάστημα. Σοβαρά τώρα; να πάω σε κατάστημα, να χάσω 2-3 ώρες από τη δουλειά μου, για να δώ τις κινήσεις του λογαριασμού μου προ λίγων ετών; τότε για ποιο λόγο έχουμε intenet banking, μπορείτε να δώσετε μιά απάντηση;

Alpha bottomed out.

I have been experiencing significant issues with Alpha's web banking service. The authentication codes take an inordinate amount of time to arrive on my phone, even when using the Viber app that they force me to use. This is very frustrating.

I believe that the issues with Alpha's web banking service are due to incompetent personnel, outdated IT infrastructure, or a cheapo implementation of their authentication system. Additionally, I find it suspicious that they force you to install a third-party chat app (Viber), which leads me to believe that they may have some sort of interest in the app.

Customers, especially those who live abroad, are advised to use a different bank.

Worst bank ever. They charge 5eur per month in order to maintain account. Shame to the CEO Mr Psaltis that try make earnings in weight of depositors.

There is always a long queue on their CC line; I have called them numerous times BUT (surprise) the line keeps dropping....

The new market pass online card is NOT WORKING... at all

And they haven't issued any statement!!!

Just a weak greek bank, unsufficient & ... a thief I should say.

Κόλαφος.
Το πιο απαίσιο app τράπεζας ever.
500 ώρες και ακόμα περιμένω να πιστοποιηθώ.
Γράφει περιμένετε μη κλείσετε την εφαρμογή και μετά σε πετάει έξω μόνο του. Και πάλι από την αρχή.
Κόλαφος. Δεν δουλευει σε όλα τα κινητά .
Τουλάχιστον απάντησαν στο τηλέφωνο και μου είπαν απεγκατάσταση και ξανά εγκατάσταση. Το αποτέλεσμα το ίδιο.
Απαίσιο! Ποιο το νόημα λοιπόν να μας πλασάρουν δήθεν άνοιγμα λογαριασμού με 1-2 κλικ όταν Δεν μπορούν να το υποστηρίξουν τεχνικά. Πολύ απογοητευμένος

Useless customer service.
I saw an amount disappearing from my account, after days asking for an explanation i had to file a complaint. Only then someone really checked my issue and released the money.
The phone support is useless unless you speak greek. None of them knows basic knowledge of English language. The best they can say is “let me transfer you to a colleague who speaks English”, then they leave you hanging on the line for 30-40 minutes more, until you find someone who actually went to school.

If i could give minus stars i would!!! Worst bank i ever dealt with. Very unprofessional, customer service is non-existent and they don't ever answer the phone or just pick up and slam it down again immediately.
The sooner i take my money and leave the better...
I have been trying to get my new debit card for a month now since my old one expired,... and still nothing!

Arranged to have a new card as previous one expired. Happened to call a rep to check they ve got my new address in they system. No problem until then. Then the rep tells me there is going to be a 5€ charge everytime the card expires, I said no one notified me of this via email/app/call/text so if I hadn't called I wouldn't know. She replied that 'normally, you would call us anyway after we would have charged you to find out why we did so, thus I am letting you know beforehand'. This is called exceptional customer service, well done

Awful and rude customer support, rep was sarcastic.

This bank is a joke. Rather put your money somewhere where it is safe. Our money went missing in this bank 3 month ago and we never got it back. No service and no apologies. Legal action necessary. We never heard such a thing.
A friendly warning, avoid Alpha Bank at all costs - literally.

I’m very dissatisfied with this bank.
I’m very dissatisfied with this bank. I had my debit card information stolen and saw I almost immediately that there was an illegal transaction online. I called Alpha and requested that they should cancel the transaction before the money was to be withdrawn. I even cancelled my card and blocked my online account to make sure of this. They told me that they couldn’t cancel the transaction until the money was actually withdrawn and only then I would would have to go through a procedure which would take up to 40 days to see if I could claim it back! They also requested I do this in person at one of their branches. After getting a new card I tried to unblock my online account but to my dismay I was told I had to visit a branch for that as well! Mind you, their banks close at 14:00 and with their limited staff you end up waiting up to an hour to get served. If you work during the mornings you are basically screwed. It’s been a month and I’m still unable to unblock my account due to the very limited help I can get online or via phone. It’s 2022 and this service takes me back years and years ago.
Short story, it’s been about a month and NO money back yet. My account still blocked because I don’t have the time to go to their bank in person. No apology on their part or any other solution that might make things easier.

Tried to make a simple transaction and failed (same transaction I have made before without problem). There was a message "please provide correct depositor details". Everything was correct, nothing changed. I contacted customer service, which was a joke, they transferred my to 4 different employees with long waiting time and finally I didn't have more time to wait so I had to hang up, without having my problem solved.

Being in Alpha bank in Peraias Ethnikis antistaseos was one of the worst experience ever
Waiting 1 hour in the till so that I will take some cash
Very rude people
Awful behaviour

Horrible horrible. That’s it. Commissions and here and there they try to take money and when it comes to protect you as a client they leave you being stolen by everyone who wants. Called the bank immediately after Being stolen by private sellers and you have to apply here and there and bye bye money after 1 month no response even with police report sended to them. Take your money and run away from this bank😡😡😡😡

Worst bank ever. I called Alpha bank immediately after recognising a transaction that I did not authorise. This was a fraud transaction that could be blocked immediately. But, instead I was told that it was necessary to visit one of their branches (not online) to declare the incidence. I lost two hours from work to sort the situation out, yet I was told to declare this incidence with an online application. After 1 1/2 months of completing the application I have still not received a response. Just ridiculous .

I have had a business account with Alpha Bank in Cyprus for 15 years. The charges are now completely ridiculous, and their online system is a joke. it normally takes me 6-20 attempts to get into the system - this has been the case since they implemented the push notifications. Sometimes the initial logon screen wont display, and other times the logon screen comes up but then the next screen times out - a total joke and it drives me insane. I have a good internet connection and have used various different devices - they all have the same problem. In addition it is impossible to work out how to transfer money online to another bank - even the people in the bank don't know how to do it. Alpha get your act together!

Tried for nearly 1h to open an account but the app is very buggy and customer service unoolite and unhelpful. They close your contact while you are speaking. Amazing

I had taken mortgage from Alpha bank branch in Greece. They are completely fraudulent. There is no transparency and I have to frequently contact them to get clarity. Their manager Markela Yiannakoudaki is also pathetic. I will never recommend anyone to use their services.
