There support used to be bad, now it is atroscious.
The details of my situation are not important, however I was in contact with Christian Krabus - Head of Customer Care (https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-krabus-075a7887/ who it appears no longer works for N26).
I would regular have to ask for status updates; email the managing directors and only then would things get progressed.
My issue stemmed from May 2019 right until Mar 2020; when he stopped responding (and according to linkedin, left the firm).
Basically, every support interaction required multiple pulling of teeth. That should not be how a bank interacts with you, especially when they have your money.
I now use another bank in Berlin, just a normal one, and the interactions are about average ( I ask a question; they take a week to get back to me -- but they *tell* me it will take a week).
No, I believe the parent is trying to tell us that they checked the employee's LinkedIn and noticed that the employee had changed jobs, so they arrived at a reasonable assumption: the employee may have stopped responding to their requests because he changed jobs.
I have done this once for my own account and a couple of times for others. They really do look into every detail and will award compensation if it's clear the bank was at fault.
Institutions that don't have this protection include Trasferwise and Revolut, both of which I have had issues with in the past.
Do you mean they don't subscribe to the 80k protection or something like that?
Transferwise are not in it and say they protect your money in other ways... https://transferwise.com/help/articles/2949821/is-it-safe-to...
AIUI it would have to sign up to stricter regulation, and be treated as an actual bank account, or maybe as an investment (forex) account.
