Review of the The Co-operative Bank, Current Account:

Good account

This is a good account and the rewards one is good that gives things like free travel insurance and RAC cover Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019

Simple and effective

Easily move and managed my accounts in one place! All of my cards are connected and can transfer for business or leisure. So simple but effective Reviewed on: 19th January 2022

Fair and ethical bank

This bank supports charities and espouses ethical positions, which I like. It also pays a very small reward to online banking users. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

been with them over 25 years

ive always had a great experience with the coop, expecially their customer service. whenever ive had a problem theyve always gone over and above to solve it - especially when i had a fraud incident - stolen money was returned within minutes. Reviewed on: 13th January 2022

Everyday Extra Account

Great value account includes travel insurance and roadside assistance for £15 a month. You can also get cash rewards when you pay out on standing orders. It's easy to manage the account online. Reviewed on: 12th January 2022

Reliable

Have been with them for many years and not had any problems. They have always answered the phone promptly if I have needed to call them. Reviewed on: 12th January 2022

Still more ethical than most

Hugely appreciate the UK call centres too Reviewed on: 12th January 2022

About as ok as banks get

They seem to be about as good as any bank gets Reviewed on: 4th January 2022

Call time is very long and customer service reps do not always deliver

The call times are always very long - then when you do get through the customer service reps do not always do what they say, eg send emails - the you have to call back and wait on hold again for another hour Reviewed on: 28th October 2021

What a shambles!

My debit cards and credit card have both been subject to 'unauthorized activity' which is still to be resolved. In the meantime they have periodically blocked then unblocked my online transactions at the point of 'verified by visa' not only for my replacement cards but also for the card that hadn't been involved in the fraudulent activity. In addition my husbands Co-op bank cards have been similarly treated even though they were not involved in the unauthorised activity either. This random blocking has necessitated a significant number of long waits on the telephone to speak to 'customer services' who, after long discussion and interrogation, assured us that they had unblocked the cards. They either weren't unblocked or unblocked only for a short period. I have passed all this information on to the bank's fraud team who are investigating the unauthorised activity against my cards but they seem intent on ignoring my emails. I have now asked them to get back to me with an explanation and resolution of the problem by Monday 11th October but I am not holding out much hope Reviewed on: 9th October 2021

Complete joke of a bank!

Absolute farce of a bank! They blocked my card after I tried to do an online purchase but never told me so card then declined when I tried to use it in a shop- embarrassing! Tried to phone them to resolve but on my four attempts queue time was over an hour. Tried to Live chat them as they recommend online but they have removed that service. Tried sending a secure message but it errored as apparently you can’t do it from a phone or iPad! Contacted them via fb messenger to be told I had to phone them. Was told queue time was 2.5hrs and I’d just have to sit and wait. I asked for them to get someone to phone me back but was told no we don’t do that. I said I was fed up just close my account and was told I’d have to phone and wait in the 2.5hr queue to close it. What a joke of a company! Reviewed on: 18th August 2021
