Worst loan experience ever

published

Our broker suggested heritage for a reno refinance of our home. It was only an 80% lend and our servicing was great. After jumping through all their hoops for months and providing every document they requested they denied the loan with NO reason but said they would look at it once complete. What a joke! What’s the point? - we need funds to complete it. Now we have to start all over again with another bank and will never be using heritage unless they change their mind today.

Lack of knowledge and staff who appear unhelpful. Would not recommend this bank.

published

Been a customer for six years. Staff have a distinct lack of knowledge and they appear very unhelpful unless you present in person. Their call centres have extremely long wait times and branch staff are way too slow. I would norecommend Heritage bank at all.

Best Bank in Australia

published

Don't listen to the bleeting whingers, Heritage is a good bank to deal with, I'm a regular Aussie who has had nothing but positive dealings with the bank and they are genuinely really helpful, even knocked half a percent off my mortgage rate without asking them to do so, go for it, better than the big 4 by a big margin.

Neeed to get with the times

published

Been with this bank for 9 years, not reliable at all. Awful customer service. Had to stay with them because my employer made all employees bank
With heritage unfortunately. Will be closing my account finally as soon as I can. They don’t like helping their customers out, After 9 years they refused to give me a loan. Went to Nab and they were happy to help me. They don’t offer apple pay to use your card online I was told i needed an Android to access my card on my phone which is ridiculous this bank is so outdated.

A string of errors and headaches

published

We have had a loan woth Heritage for several years. Wanting a pool we tried to add to our mortgage for the build. A 'simple' process turned into 2 months of misinformation, wrong paper work and constant mistakes. We were given incorrect loan forms and told to sign them anyway. We still don't have our loan. Luckily we have our wits about us and haven't fallen into their traps, I'm sure many people have been fooled by this bank. Staff don't know what they are doing, don't trust them and stay away!

What a waste of resources, appears to be a poorly-run bank - cannot redirect mail

published

I've brought a house where the previous owners banked with Heritage. Their mail still keeps getting delivered to me 2 years later, despite me 'returning to sender' several times AND spending time on the phone over 4 separate occasions to request they cancel the mail (previous owners have left the country). On the last occasion I spent at least 20 minutes with the Heritage bank rep going through all the possible options to cancel the mail. The Heritage Bank rep on the line assured me that now she had fixed it and I would not receive any more. And today got more mail. What a waste of resources!!! It appears to be a poorly-run bank

Untrained staff

Incorrect account opened by us when guided by staff. Do your own research. The Target Bonus Account must be opened on the first day of the month to get the full months interest for that month. We new about the other conditios and adhered to those. We opened ours on the 6th so missed out on $210 interest for the three weeks of January. Very frustrating. Considering we play the game of chasing the best account for savings. We usually do our own research but relide on the teller's knowledge. We will not do this again.

they have the balls to take money from their customers but no balls to get it back for them

published

bank's motto is people first when it's really is people last, they will take money from their customers when they make an error but when they need to refund scammed money back to their customers they lose their balls by say get a solicitor?

Not impressed, not coming back

published

My partner and I went into a heritage branch because we wanted to start a joint account together. When the teller discovered that my partner is not an Australian citizen, the tone quickly changed from pleasant to awkward. It's like we had to apologise for not being Australian citizens. Disgusting!
He started acting very uncomfortable and said how they need many more ID documents from "international people". We just ended up walking away, it was too hard work and he really didn't want us to be there.
. (Bunch of bogans from Toowoomba vibe, i would suggest looking elsewhere.)

If the account cant be excessed unless you go to a branch why allow people to open an account on line

Great online banking and easy to deal with

published

I've been with Heritage Bank since forever and have always had great service from them. Their products are generally competitive compared to the market and I like that they are member owned, so beat the big 4 hands down when it comes to good service, acting with integrity and supporting the community.

Their online banking is great, easy to use and the app is great too. Would highly recommend.

A Pathetic UNTRAINED ORGANISATION

published

After 3 Emails with different personal,each stating different requirements to open up a SMSF account
The 2nd Last Email ((now 4 emails) I included a lot lot more than I was asked for & then one Of the IDIOT emailed me that they wanted more information
The Amount of Information I gave them was at least 2-3 Times more than any other Financial bank requires
In the Finish I told them where to go & Delete all (approx 20 pages) I emailed them from their system
