Sabadell online? Better watch out…

Try using NIE for ID, they did the same to us, switching our ID from passport number with no notification. When we called them we told them we had not changed it.  Conclusion, someone there dud without telling us! Bad practice Sabadell.

Thanks for that

I’d already given the Bank my new Passport number. But…

I didn’t get a telecall. Instead I received a text with an access code. Minus any instructions

After some trial and error I substituted this for my new Passport number and was flipped into the process whereby you get another text with the numeric code options each of which contain 4 numbers. This worked fine - but I had understood that this security method had been replaced

So now I have access to apps on iPad and iPhone - but my Passport and Password doesn’t work to sign onto the website. I don’t remember being advised that the website is no longer available and that access is App only. A change in policy which Virgin cards implemented a couple of months ago

Logging on requires a User ID - which in my case is my British Passport number.

I have been without online access for over a month now and am very irritated. It transpired that my access to both App and website was blocked. So why was this?

During my multiple telecalls to Customer Services (where in fairness the English spoken is excellent) the first reason I was given was that I had not provided a ‘document of economic capacity to produce funds’. (See below - I referred it to my branch and asked if it was genuine)

This was an April 2020 change in banking regs and despite the Bank having had 8 months to get itself sorted, I was given 12 days notice to produce evidence from 3/12/20. They received it (including a copy to my local branch office) on 9/12/20 but it was not acted on

Apparently that error was later corrected. Possibly.

But still I had no access - and the next reason given was that my Passport had expired and my User ID had expired with it

This is entirely logical BUT no prior notification was issued by the Bank. The system just switched me off without any warning

Current position: 

One week ago I spoke with my fourth or fifth CS person and this guy sent me an email link while I waited and which required me to do two things a la Monzo/Wise etc

1. Take a pic of my new passport and

2. Take a mugshot

He waited for me to complete the task and confirmed that each had been received BUT that the re-registration process must be completed by a different department from which I would receive a call in ‘two or three days’

I’m still waiting…
