Postbank account problems: Turn on the ombudsman, says the NRW consumer advice center

According to a report by www.presseportal.de,

Complaints about account problems at Postbank are not decreasing. According to the NRW consumer advice center, those affected who have not had access to their money for weeks should contact the banking ombudsman. The compensation offered by the bank is viewed as inadequate, and the North Rhine-Westphalia consumer advice center offers an online form to help you make claims for damages.

The ongoing problems at Postbank, despite the appointment of a special representative by the financial regulator BaFin, are leading to ongoing complaints and existential problems for those affected. Even after the seizure, accounts were suddenly blocked, which led to significant financial difficulties. The consumer advice center is therefore demanding appropriate compensation for unquantifiable damage, which is not covered by Postbank's current compensation.

The North Rhine-Westphalia Consumer Center offers a formulation aid to claim damages that cannot be directly quantified or verified. People who have suffered from account problems over a long period of time are encouraged to contact the private bank ombudsman directly to claim compensation.

These ongoing problems at Postbank and the inadequate compensation offers could continue to affect consumer trust in the bank. Customers could decide to switch to other banks, which could mean a potential financial loss for Postbank. Public pressure and negative headlines could also continue to weigh heavily on the bank's image.

Overall, the ongoing problems at Postbank not only appear to lead to customer dissatisfaction, but also have potentially negative effects on the market and the perception of the bank. It remains to be seen how Postbank will respond to this ongoing criticism and the demands of the consumer advice center.
