Alper,
Over the last few weeks I've sent a few emails to you but I've not received a response. Are you receiving them?
Regards, SteveJ

Steve - from memory Alper leaves Fortis on Nov 4th to join ING Bank.
Possibly Fortis have restricted his access?

Is there someone else at Fortis who speaks English? It was the reason we joined Fortis because of recommendations on this website for Alper.
-
I closed down my ING accounts and opened up at Fortis due to the recommendations on here.
-
I shall repay all the commission Fortis paid me.

I am hoping they get someone soon I spent ages trying to explain I wanted to close a 30 day account and put the money in my daily account, I spoke to 3 different girls, in the end I called Alper at home and he explained on the phone to one of the girls what I wanted

Thanks Mark, I think we will have to follow Alper to ING.

Ditto
Keith, I'll email you the address to repay the commission to.

Why not bank with Finansbank; almost all the staff there speak excellent English (so you don't have to rely on just one person) - offer a superb personal service and I have never in eight years had an issue with them in any way.
They also have a very user friendly web site in English which won an award not so long ago.

Nicolah I agree a lot of the staff speak English but I left Finnans because of the charges to keep my daily account open and the lower interest rates on 30 day accounts, but this is my biggest worry, being owned by a bankrupt country.

I think your fears are unfounded Mark, Fortis has changed hands twice in the last year and that didnt bother you?
I have never had any problems with charges on my accounts and found the monthly rates the same as anywhere else.
The staff at Finans have been excellent for me, even sorting out Digiturk.
Ill stick with Finans

Andy my money is very hard earn't so I don't take chances I share my money about so if a bank goes under I am covered by the goverment guarantee, I did not invest a lot in Fortis until it was taken over by BNP Paribas who have now taken TEB bank which will merge with Fortis so it has not changed hands.
My fears may be unfounded I don't think any banks will be allowed to go under again but I will not take risk each to his own.
