Exactly the same thing happened to me with Santander, I was in the old continent and I had to fight it, fortunately I have an account in Banorte, but it was a debit, and when I arrived they told me “it was a matter of going to the branch and it would be solved right away” …

They are a very backward bank, they seem to be stuck in the 90’s in systems and attention. They are able to ask you to go to the branch where you opened your account

Indeed, it happened to me. It took me almost a month to replace my card because I had to solve it ONLY at the branch. inch @ScotiabankMX net.

And this is how bad practices in the consumer experience can generate a great debate on social networks, That is why brands must solve these types of complaints more quickly, thus improving their dealings with their users.
