All bad bank. Review on Allahabad Bank

What a topic. There's so much to write about Allahabad Bank that Mouthshut readers will go crazy.

We have to keep it short. So look at the title. It'll give you an overview of what you can expect in this bank.

If you are located east side--W.Bengal for instance-- then just forget all your thoughts about going to Allahabad Bank for anything. Remember the story of the sleeping giant, well this is personified in Allahabad Bank. The somnolescent attitude of the staff will make you go to sleep as well.

In the North of the country, this bank is considered a big joke. Imagine-- when they came out with an IPO, the staff in the smaller branches were co-opted to sell the IPO to their customers. Fine. But none of the satff knew any of the details of the IPO. If you ahd any questions, they would say--''please read the offer document'', which was printed in such a way that only Sherlock Holmes with his magnifying glass would be able to decipher it.

The same holds true with their comsumer loans deptt. Can you imagine-- they ask the customer what the latest rate of interest is, because the satff is not informed and things keep changing every six months or so.

If you want to go with Allahabad Bank, please stick to the main branch in the area where you are, to avoid frustration with a capital F.

Have fun.
