    Maybe so, but it is better than some incoherent automaton somewhere on the Indian continent.;)
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    You say that but IME Barclaycard's offshore CS is better than Sygma's inland CS... The last time I called Barclaycard CS they refunded the £10 incorrectly applied interest.

    Similar thing happend with Sygma (as the agent who originally put the BT through, didn't put it on the 0% deal) and no one in the call centre had authority to sort it out... I had to wait a fortnight instead - twice, because the first time the "fixed" it they hadn't...

    How odd.....
    Never had an issue with Sygma bank yet, always been very helpful and their online system works ok other than the fact they are upgrading it a present so I get the odd time when I can't log in.


    Suppose everybody has different experience from Bank to Bank, however in the past my dealings with 'foreign' call centre staff have been very unpleasant to the point I would just hang up on them or go to a branch if available. Luckily all of my cards and current accounts are held with banks that do not operate 'foreign' call centres.:)

  • I to say I've never had a Sygma related problem. The most time I've ever spent on hold is a couple of minutes.

    I have a couple of cards with them. The website for card management is a little clunky but I've been advised that it's being upgraded and the new site will be live in the next month or so.

    I'd highly recommend Sygma.
