Comdirect bad experience
My partner and I applied for a joint account with comdirect. I am a German citizen, and my partner is an Ethiopian citizen with a valid German residence permit. We completed the entire application process, including the identity verification at the post office (PostIdent), and submitted every document that was requested.
After waiting almost three weeks without any update, I called customer service to ask about the status. I was told that we should receive our documents within two or three days. Instead, my partner received a rejection letter stating that our application had been declined, without any explanation. I did not receive any communication myself.
I understand that banks have the right to accept or reject applications based on their internal policies. What disappointed me was the lack of communication and transparency throughout the process. We invested time completing all the required steps, waited weeks without updates, and received contradictory information from customer service before the rejection.
A clearer and more timely communication would have made the experience much more professional, even if the final decision had remained the same.

Satisfied customer
I changed to Comdirect from the Kreissparkasse. Why? I paid monthly for my account at the KSK, only ever used the online service. The customer service at the KSK is diabolical. It was easy to switch to the Comdirect, the 'umzug' service worked perfectly. The App seems stable, the photo TAN works fine. I have never had to call them - maybe my opinion will change if I ever need to speak to Comdirect as Germany is a customer service nightmare. So far all okay.

The worst bank I have ever dealt with.
The worst bank I have ever dealt with.
They constantly ignore emails sent to customer service unless you escalate the issue to BaFin.
Their customer service is also the worst I have ever experienced. Instead of solving problems, they create new ones every time and provide misleading or inaccurate information.
I also experienced racist behavior from one of their customer service representatives. When I explained in German that my German was not very good and politely asked them to speak more slowly, the representative started yelling at me, mocked my accent, and then hung up the phone.
The most ridiculous part was that when I reported this unacceptable behavior to their complaints department, their response was simply to close my account instead of addressing the issue.

Chargeback by COMDIRECT.DE due to a fraudulent incident with booking.com
on the 10th Feb 2026 i booked a room in
Con buen sabor Via verde, Antigua Estación Via verde de la sierra in Montellano/Anadlusia through BOOKING.COM.
The room had to be paid in advance (not to be cancelled).
in short: The accomodation was a complete desaster!
Contacting BOOKING.COM several times was without success. They sent autoresponders but nothing else. I never expected such an awfull service from them and was estonished about such unserious procedures.
By good luck i could cancel the credit card withdrawal from my account with COMDIRECT.DE
Thanks for the good service!

Disappointed as a comdirect client…
Disappointed as a comdirect client since a decade
There were such a cool online bank at the beginning. Now it is so disappointing to see their performance, their non-functioning, their late or partially no response ignorance to good clients.
There were so good, what happened to see the slow decline?
Today 13.4.2026 I try to use basic services, the comdirect.de site is simply down. No further notification.
Beginning of this year: As a foreign bank account holder, you could not adapt basic bank functions such as the standing order "Daueraufträge" yourself. And this as an online bank!
Anyone who wrote to the client service at comdirect will experience yourself. You receive no direct answer combined with late partial answer combined with no proactive solution oriented response. Very low performing, very sad and very customer unfriendly.
The easiest way would be, here is how we will fix it by this date. Instead nothing.
You can re-ask the same request again and again, with a new person, and start from zero, if you have not given up before. Which most clients will do. Frustrating to deal with them.
A few weeks ago beginning of this year, you received a mail as client, talking about new functions new things as if they try to be innovative again, from the Head of client services. I wrote him back directly with cc client service and got until today NO answer at all.
Is this the way you treat your service, functionalities, strategy and your client base comdirect? Very disappointing.
You see the result in the lowest client rating over thousand of clients if you do a simple web search.
It raises concerns on managing level.

Opening an account with this bank is…
Opening an account with this bank is easy, but being properly informed as an existing customer is not. From a financier’s perspective, comdirect appears to prioritize customer acquisition over customer care. Every attempt to clarify basic account related questions by phone has been frustrating, with identification procedures followed by waiting times of 20 minutes or more. When contact is finally made, responses are often unfriendly and rushed, frequently limited to “this is in your app inbox” before the call is abruptly ended. The lack of any English language support further reduces accessibility. Overall, a disappointing experience that undermines trust and effective communication.

Absolute disaster
Absolute disaster. They were once a cool online bank, now it is the worst bank/fintech I've ever used. I closed my account, but they were still charging hidden fees and threatened me. Of course they are still sending regular mail in 2026 and all their customer support is only in German. The customer support hung up the phone when I asked for explanation why they are charging fees on a clsoed account.

Bye bye boys
Used to use the bank for over two decades. Then Commerzbank bought it. It took them a few month to terminate my accounts and my depot. Just got kicked out, no explanation, nothing. Seems I didn't do enough trades or put enough money for their need. So good bye. Lucky, there are much better online banks available, so I moved. Not missing them.

This bank is a hard pass, look anywhere else.
I have been a comdirect client for >6 years, and the service quality has dramatically decreased over the last 2 years.
There is no single point of failure; the problem is the bank's approach to the product and how it handles the clients.
E.g.:
- This year was a massive outage, so clients could not access their money for almost a day. However, the bank had not announced it on the site's official page. Instead, all you can find is a thread on some community forum.
- This October, the Echtzeit transactions do not work for a week, and the information about it cannot be found on the official channels of the bank.
- There is a separate application for transaction confirmation. Why is it needed?
- The official app has glitches, sometimes blocking the UI or asking for a fingerprint authentication 3 times in a row.
- Last year, the bank canceled many long-time loyal clients. Without reason, just sending a notification that their account will be closed in 2-3 months - take your money and get out.
- I have not seen chat support in the app working. It is literally always unavailable.
- Phone support needs to be trained in customer service. If you reach out to them, they hang up in the middle of a conversation.
This is a frustrating experience, and I can't recommend the bank to anyone until the issues are addressed.

Incapable of dealing with a simple issue
I had an account with comdirect when I lived in Berlin a decade ago. Recently I have been trying to get the account deleted and the money transferred, I have never experienced such incompetence in my life.
They have asked for documents repeatedly, despite me having already sent the documents, and when I simply ask for an update they ask for it to be given in writing. It's infuriating trying to deal with a customer 'help' service where they clearly do not care at all, and have no empathy. I began this process on the 18th May, and now, 16th September, I am no closer to the conclusion of it. I don't see how I will get hold of the non-trivial amount of money I had left in my account.
I cannot advise any potential customers strongly enough to avoid this awful, awful company.

Nothing to do with a terrible destructive service
For 15-20 days ago I wanted to open a giro account by the bank, after that tried to do identification process by more than 2_3 hours video call and maybe more than 20 times meeting at post, but every times they said there could not do it. I contacted customer service, that said there was no problem with documents, but the agents at post or during video call said so i had to ask themselves (costumer service) to complete the procees. I enjoyed the this høj level of respect . I gave up opening the account . Nothing more to do with this bank, but now I understand the reason of the cheap service of the bank.

Wasting your time! They are good at that!
We tried to open a junior investment account (Junior Depot) with Comdirect Bank. Unfortunately, the bank's communication has been very inadequate.
First, my wife had to identify herself in person at the post office. After that, there was complete silence. When we called to follow up, we were told that an additional PDF form from the website was needed, which had to be filled out, signed, and sent by post. We did that via registered mail—but again, there was no response.
During another phone call, we were told that this step hadn’t been necessary at all. Instead, they now requested our daughter’s birth certificate. Although we had been told earlier that it was optional, we submitted it as well. Once more, there was no reply from Comdirect Bank.
In our next call, we were told that a joint letter from both parents was also required. At that point, we gave up.

Visa credit card refused in France
During travels to France in April 2025 my Visa debit and Visa Credit cards issued by comdirect were declined by self serve petrol stations. I reported the issue and experienced the same issue in July 2025. When I contacted the customer service centre I was informed that comdirect is aware of the issue but no update. Visa cards not excepted within a EURO country defeats the purpose of the credit or debit card. Facing the issue 4 months after having flagged the issue us more than unsatifactory.

we waste your time
I was a happy customer of this bank for several years until I moved from Germany to the middle east.
I ask them if I can keep my bank account: "Yes no problem. Just let us know your new address".
After I moved they bothered me several weeks to provide a tax identification number, which doesn't exist here. I kept explaining, but it did not help. They kept sending these generic standard requests.
Then last week they finally told me that everything is fine now and that I can keep using their services, just that they can cancel my account this week.
I don't have a problem with canceling my account due to my rellocation, but they could have told me that when I asked the first time.
When you live in Germany it might works, but I think the neobrokers are way more customer friendly.
