Does metro not have online banking? Couldnāt these people just do an online withdrawal to another bank if they were that worried?

They canāt allow everyone to withdraw funds by any means or theyāll run out of money and collapse. If they put restrictions on withdrawals it will make people think theyāre about to run out of money.
No idea where they go from here but they need to reassure customers very quickly to have any chance of surviving
Yeah. Funnily enough, most peopleās money is safe anyway due to the Ā£85k fscs.
The ones who actually need to worry are the investors!
I business bank with them. I transferred some money into another account just to be safe. Up to Ā£85K is FSCS protected.
The replies to that that Tweet are interesting. The BBC, the Mirror, and Mail Online have asked for permission to use the photo. Others are claiming itās a picture from a branch opening.

I agree they are one to watch now. If they survive this and can find the reserve capital necessary without taking on too much debt, they could be a bargain.
Although, the whole reason they are in this mess is their poor accounting skills, which is very worrying for a bank.
Thereās a lot of fake news on Metro Bank. Even though I took a loss and sold last week. Itās worrying because Metro is a āchallenger bankā. So if this struggles, then other challenger banks might be thrown in the same boat.

I went past Metrobank Liverpool Street and the other Metrobank near the Moorgate at lunchtime. I donāt see panic, just another normal banking day. lmao!
Meanwhile Iām opening a business starling account as soon as I can via itās app.
Ali Pirbhai, the bankās regional director, said some customers were returning to redeposit items they had withdrawn the day before.
from the Metro Bank shares fall as it reaffirms capital raising post.
Besides wondering how many is āsomeā, where did these customers keep the funds between withdrawing and depositing
Under their beds maybe

There is a reason it is so cheap. If it does not find cash to sustain its liabilities, it will go bankrupt. Risky but you decide

Iād say too risky. The best time to buy cheap shares is when you think the business is really solid but is being undervalued by the market on a temporary basis, not because they crash due to genuine concerns about whether the business will survive.
Iām not at all convinced that Metro has any unique quality that will let it thrive in a crowded UK retail banking marketplace, and if anything theyāve gone in completely the wrong direction with branches etc IMO. At best they will limp along slowly losing market share to smaller startups with a lower cost base and established banks with branches, at worst they will go bust.
