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

Does what it says on the tin

I have never needed to leave because I get free banking and everything I need is done in timely fashion Reviewed on: 11th February 2018

Co-op are easy to work with

CO-op have an excellent app and website and are excellent to do business with Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Slow and limited

If you’re looking for a basic current account, this will work fine. I also like the friendly approach from the Co-op, and ethical status. However, phone hold times often get in the excess of 1 hour and there’s no other way to communicate. The app is very limited in what you can do, and everything is just slow. There’s also little perks to go alongside this current account. Reviewed on: 11th March 2024

Terrible customer service!

We have been customers of Cooperative bank for many years. Unfortunately the customer service has deteriorated over the years. I have recently raised a complaint about a bank transfer which was not made. I have spent nearly 3 hours on the phone, been given various poor excuses, assurances which were not met and still the payment has not been made. It feels as if they no longer value customers and I would not recommend this bank to anyone. Reviewed on: 7th March 2024

Everyday Extra packaged bank account is excellent.

Their Everyday Extra packaged bank account provides, in my opinion, unbeatable value for money in terms of the benefits it provides. Reviewed on: 6th March 2024

Always friendly & excellent.

Always friendly & excellent. Very competitive too Reviewed on: 4th March 2024

Excellent Customer service

Excellent Customer service from start to finish when opening an customer - easy to do with great communications from the bank Reviewed on: 22nd February 2024

I chose the Cooperative Bank

I chose the Cooperative Bank for it’s ethical stance and the fact it has a branch local to my home. I trust the Cooperative Bank to make ethical choices in its investments and the companies it supports. Reviewed on: 16th January 2024

Good bank but poor phone contact

I’ve used the Co-operative bank for years but recently trying to contact them on the phone sometimes takes hours and is very frustrating. Their online banking is good however and I can manage my money easily. Reviewed on: 16th January 2024

Avoid

Stay well away their banks are terrible. They can block your account without notice or reason and hold your money. Stay clear of Co-operative bank. 5 days now we have been without groceries because they won’t release my money. Had to send my child to school without dinner money. When I approached them, they blocked me on X and Facebook. I also rang them and begged for my own money for food for my family.. they told me they’ll see if they can send me some food and then changed their mind. The co-operative bank have taken away our basic human rights. Never trust them and always keep a rainy day ££ at home Reviewed on: 24th November 2023

Ethical

Ethical bank - I have never had any problems with my bank Reviewed on: 27th September 2023
