Global financial services firm providing investment banking, securities, wealth management and investment management services since 1935.
I generally have a positive experience with Morgan Stanley. The mobile banking is well-designed and most transactions are processed quickly. My one complaint is that some features feel outdated compared to newer digital banks. Still, for everyday banking, they do a solid job and I trust them with my money.
Pros: Trustworthy, functional app, quick transactions
Cons: Some features feel dated
Morgan Stanley does the basics well enough. My current account works fine, cards work abroad, and I haven't experienced any security issues. But they don't offer anything that really stands out from competitors. Interest rates are middling and the rewards program is underwhelming.
Pros: Reliable basics, international card works well
Cons: Nothing that stands out, low interest rates
Using Morgan Stanley for my personal and business accounts. The business banking side is especially good - statements are clear, international payments work well, and the relationship manager assigned to me is knowledgeable. Personal banking side is average but reliable. Would recommend for business customers.
Pros: Great business banking, clear statements, good RM
Cons: Personal banking is just average
I've had both good and bad experiences with Morgan Stanley. Day-to-day banking is fine and the app works. However, I had a terrible experience trying to dispute a charge - it took weeks and multiple calls to resolve. The resolution was fair in the end but the process was frustrating.
Pros: App works well for daily banking
Cons: Dispute resolution process is slow and painful
