Something fishy going on, co-op will catch it! I am very careful with my bank details and keep my cards in special little folders so they cannot be scanned without my knowledge, yet despite this my... Read more Reviewed on: 22nd April 2025

The Co-operative Bank Current Account reviews (395)

Customer service

Can always get help and advice quickly either through online chat or over the phone. Fantastic customer service Reviewed on: 9th February 2020

Excellent customer service

I have always found their CS advisors helpful and knowledgeable. They listen to your issue and respond sensibly rather than just parroting a script. My only issue is that the pricing and rates are OK but not the best. Reviewed on: 9th February 2020

Ethical banking and extra benefits

Problem-free current account plus travel insurance, breakdown cover, phone insurance and airport lounge access. We have certainly had our money's worth from this account over the years. Reviewed on: 9th February 2020

Easy to use, ethical

Happy with the Co-op; been using them for a few years. Reviewed on: 8th February 2020

Good old honest banking

Ethical, reliable & trustworthy brand Reviewed on: 6th February 2020

Banking with principles

Good to know that my money will not be invested in fossil fuels, arms, dictatorships or exploitation. No problems with my account or customer service. Easy to use app and website. Only downside is (now) the lack of a local branch but it is only VERY occasionally that I have cause to visit a branch anyway. Reviewed on: 6th February 2020

Co-op bank

Never any problems using Co-op Bank. Never received any calls from bank salesmen offering premium products you don’t want - happened all the time with my precious bank. Always feel safe online, app is great and staff in the fee branches are extremely friendly and helpful. My account also give me a £7 bonus every month - what’s not to love. Reviewed on: 1st February 2020

Too many branch closures

Very disappointed that The Cooperative Bank have continued to close down branches. With the government' HwaWei contract I don't trust our reliance on digital infrastructure and prefer one to one human interaction. One day the West will rue its economic reliance on e-transactions without back-up. Reviewed on: 31st January 2020

Ethical Banking

I love the fact that the Co-Operative bank invests ethically. I don't want to support companies that I disagree with. Reviewed on: 25th January 2020

App hasn't worked in ages

I do most of my banking via app and online. The fact that the Co-op hasn't had a working app for months and months is really not acceptable. The customer service hasn't been good either with regards to this. I wouldn't recommend the bank to anyone who prefers to bank online. Reviewed on: 20th January 2020
