The unlock feature is not working. This bug has existed for many years and still has not been fixed. The interface still shows 2017, even though we are now in 2026. According to the FAQ, atte... See more

Easily one of the worst online banking experiences I’ve ever had. Password reset doesn’t work, OTPs are never delivered, and even after creating a new password, login still fails. Completely broken sy... See more

BOC Mirigama is one of the worst banks I have ever experienced. There is no proper system for handling customers, and even though tokens are issued, they are poorly managed and unorganized. I visited... See more

One of the worst banks in terms of…

One of the worst banks in terms of customer experience. They do not know how to use technology effectively. Not bothered to improve even if you point it out. They will still try and justify that it’s not their mistake. If there is a choice I would recommend you to bank with any other bank but NOT with BOC . I lost my valuables due to the careless attitude of the branch manager and relationship manager.

Terrible customer service

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the worst bank in Sri Lanka . All customer service staff are very rude and impatient and unfit for the job . They get angry because they don't know how to answer our questions

No supportive customer care service

Not supportive customer care service at all. Not responding to emails or WhatsApp messages to meet customer satisfaction. Truly those are useless technologies to them. I also start my new account recently trusting it as it is a government bank. But they wasted my 3dys time dragging here and there just to check the remittance deposit. If there is an option to select bad stars, I will give full stars to BOC without any dought!

Worst bank branch in Avissawella

On 2022.08.30 I deposited money to the BOC account, Avissawella branch and on 2022.10.16 when I went to withdraw money they said my account has been deactivated since I have not done any transactions for a long period. But it's been only 2 months. They asked me to wait until they fixed it. After waiting for half an hour when I checked they said that it will take longer time as I have not withdrawn money for a long period and even though I have deposited money I have to withdraw money time to time in order to keep activate the account. Totally disappointed with this fact as the customers withdraw money only when they needed money not to keep activated the account.

Specialty Ratmalana branch

Specialty Ratmalana branch , very poor management. So disappointed they service,
Staff not so flexible to give good service.
Because they get salary from government whatever they give service, As a Currency account holder helpless.
Never recommended to new account holders
This bank good for corrupted peoples…..

Biggest loan shark in the history

Biggest loan shark in the history. They show u the good face while they hide their cunning faces. I took a loan for 9% rate and without a single hint they increased it to 18%. They shows no mercy to you. Even it costs full amount of what you earn for a month they won't hesitate to take all of it. Inhuman bank of Sri Lanka. Worst bank I have ever seen. Before you come to agreement from this bank you should thinl thousand times and its better you should avoid any business with this bank. This bank will eat u alive.

This bank raised the interest rate of pensioners' loans

This bank raised the interest rate of loans in a way that the customers cannot bear up at this critical economical crisis. They didn't even let me know this increase. This bank has added extra one million and sixty thousand Sri Lankan rupees to my loan as interest. (For the next 112 instalments, they have added this.) For this reason, I am suffering severely. A very untrustworthy bank !

One of the worst banks in Sri Lanka…

One of the worst banks in Sri Lanka which does not care about customers at all. The employees are inefficient as hell and management is even worse. Do not step in to any branch of this worthless bank. Recently they increased their interest more than 100% and collected all salary of their customers.
