Your never to old to bank on your phone.

I have only had a co-op Current account for nine months now but as I'm in my mid 70's I would never imagined me conducting all banking on my phone. Reviewed on: 24th March 2026

They are a simple bank, not complicated and always extremely easy to communicate with. Reviewed on: 24th March 2026

Best sustainable and ethical high street bank

5
If you are looking for a sustainable and ethical choice, this is easily the best option among the high street banks for a standard current account (for online, check out Triodos as well). Unlike most mainstream banks, the Co-op does not offer services or finance to the fossil fuel industry nor other unethical industries. I feel content that my money is not being invested in activities that undermine our common future. Reviewed on: 20th March 2026

This bank is amazing!

This bank is amazing! They are so secure, they will not let you into your app if it is not secure. The people in the actual bank are lovely friendly and kind. I don’t know what other bank I would want to be with! Reviewed on: 7th March 2026

Excellent ethical bank

I love that they are the only major bank not complicit in the Israeli apartheid in Alestine & genocide in Gaza. They are a genuinely ethical bank which is why I switched to them. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2026
