The Worst Experience..
I applied for a Personal loan and its conditionally approved. I upload all the requested documents and i got call from the verification team, they told all good and i will receive an SMS and EMAIL within 15 minutes. So i can sign the documents and accept it but after that, i didn't receive any response from the NAB team. I tried to contact few times them but they saying its still processing and they won't allow to talk with the verification team. So arrogant customer service people. I am an existing customer to NAB but not going to deal with them anymore. I applied with another bank and already receive the money. Say Thanks to Nab for providing wonderful service.

Worst banking experience of our lives
Whole painful process took almost 3 weeks. After initial application phone call (which is a whole other bad experience in itself) could get no one to answer any of our questions, always told "someone will call you back". No one ever did! Finally found someone helpful that we could email, called us with updates. Told YES approved by credit department will just take a few days for paperwork.....2 days later.....You have been declined. Um? Seriously? No explanation as to why we had been approved 2 days earlier, never given the chance to plead our case. Approved by another bank in 1 day. Will be moving all our banking from NAB now and will never be dealing with them again.

Very very terrible service and misguidance
Nab staff apologise all the time instead of fixing the issue. Unprofessional and untrained staff. Put me on hold for more than 1hour.

This bank cannot be for real?
Long story short. Paid off my NAB credit card "with perfect repayment history" and closed it. A month or so later NAB send me a letter, to my home address, offering me a good deal on a personal loan. I had a car loan with another bank which was costing me double per month what the NAB loan repayments would be so I applied for the loan. It then took them almost 7 days to get back to me to say no..but best of all, their reason! Because I closed my credit card with them I am no longer known to them and I'm seen as a "new" customer! Ummm, are you k...Read more
idding me? I cleared an $8000 credit card debt with you only a month ago, and YOU sent me the letter offering ME the loan! Wow, just wow. Even showed them the perfect payment history on my car loan that would be half the monthly payments by using their loan to clear it! Speechless. Don't bother with these guys. They are all take and no give, unlike their slogan? Waste of timeSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Absolutely disgraceful
Applied for a personal loan with them and took 1 day for pre approval to be sent and after numerous phone calls and emailing statements to be told by the lending specialists that everything was in and all looked good to then be told again weeks later that they needed more information again.... 3 months down the track I was given a decline on the loan which was appalling again as it was a joint application but only informed the one person, I am disgusted at the way they operate their loan situation and their level of conduct is an absolute lie as to what it says on their website... we have been with them for 20 years and to be treated like this .... there are much better banks out there that actually do help people....

Awesome.... not
Applied for a personal loan of about $6000, so a very low amount. I have only recently started banking with NAB but have elected to keep the majority of my funds in a bank I am happy with.
Was Informed it will take 2-4 business days to get back to me, only to get what looks like an auto generated email saying I don't meet their lending criteria, and no other contact.. what happened to the days of someone calling and asking for further information or at least specifying what lending criteria I don't meet. I'm not annoyed that I didn't get the loan, but to not ask for any information or tell me why I don't meet their criteria is just plain useless for me. Thanks for the zero help!

Congratulations! Your approved. Bank now says more documents
My wife just rang me this morning she spoke to NAB on Monday after submitting her application, they then sent her an E mail saying "Congratulations, You have been Approved ".all they needed now was her 3 mths bank statements and pay receipts . She did this immediately at the local branch in Surfers. After hearing nothing since Monday she called into the branch to find out no one had touched her documents since . Apparently they are just sitting there. The loans manager at her bank says they now require her credit card statements .

Slow and Clunky
I was sent a letter in the mail offering me a same day personal loan with a promotional number to save me 1%. I applied over the phone and was approved. I then sent all my documents through. All of their loans get shipped offshore to India for approval. This process took two weeks. Numerous excuses as to why this took so long. They then wanted further documents. Too slow and too much documentation. I told them to put my application on hold. Went through another bank and had the funds in the account within 48 hours.

Worst banking experience I have had
Applied online for a loan. Was contacted via phone & email to call them back 2 days later. I rang 5 times in 6 days to get a message saying "we are experiencing a larger than normal amount of calls, if your call is not urgent please ring back". Finally got through on 5th day, to be told they needed more information. 2 days later got another message saying I needed to call them with further information.. Finally got through 2 days later. Gave them the additional information and, after complaining to the customer service officer, was told tha...Read more
t the loan was ready to be moved to the next step. I.e. should be reviewed and I should hear back in 2 days.. 3 days later. Another text message to say they needed further information. I rang them, and yes sure enough, they needed further information. So I cancelled the application.. There is a lot more to this fiasco, but due to space I have left out some frustrating details.. Summary.. 3 weeks, 11 texts to me (they only tried to ring me twice), 10 emails.. and I still don't have an answer on whether there was even a chance they would approve the loan. Don't waste your time people. They are after Big Business money, not the average working person.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Stay away
My mrs applied for a minimum amount. Branch ok'd everything and insisted yep everything looks good. She got stable income, her salary comes into nab account every fortnight, clean credit history.After ringing for 5 days finally got an answer That she got declined. After chasing for the reason, bank gave us the most un realistic reason that she isn't permanent resident. Gave them copy of every proof from the immigration department, then started giving us other false excuses.
Just wanted to warn people, stay away from them. Very unfair.

Total rubbish
I applied by telephone and was told my loan was approved, no worries. It then took 3 weeks, with me telephoning every day of the last week, and deposit paid ona much needed car. I have rung twice daily for the past three days to be told it was with the "validation team" finally this afternoon I was told I did not meet the lending criteria. When I asked why no details were able to be provided. And what do you know? Went to the letterbox just now and there is a letter dated three days ago telling me I am unsuccessful. So how come no one coul...Read more
d tell me this on the phone? Too late to start applying elsewhere now, car has been on hold. Thanks for nothing NAB. My previous loan with you was paid out early, guess this counts for nothing. I am off to check out other banks tomorrow and will be changing for sure.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

More stressful than it needed to be
If I had realised that my accounts would be reviewed in India by the verification team, I would not have applied, as I do not feel confident that privacy is assured. The team in India requested a document, which I took into my closest branch; the teller was very unhelpful and did not forward the document which she left with the Manager. I then faxed it myself the next day. More than two days later .the person in India rang to say he still needed the document even though he knew the document was received. The communications were so vague that...Read more
I was unable to understand the requirements to complete the verification. I gave up on the application for a few reasons: initial online application was not responded to by the bank; verification team in India not understood; and the unhelpful attitude at the branch (as the teller repeatedly questioned why I did not apply for the loan with their branch). Pre-approval was fast with the phone application, but verification of my income details was delaying the final approval even though all the income details were in my accounts and the one document requested should have been the easiest to view in my accounts. Customer service on the phone was excellent verification team in India was not understoodSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Good service, fast turn-around time
NAB were great in helping me to consolidate a debt with another lender that had a massive interest rate that was killing me. I was approved within two days and had the paperwork signed within 1 1/2 weeks of applying. The only downside was dealing with the verifications team in India as they were a little hard to understand but were friendly and helpful.
Quick processing time
