I've been with the Cooperative Bank for many years. I do virtually all my banking through their online banking facility which is simple and easy to use. The fact that they are an ethical banker is an added bonus. Reviewed on: 8th November 2018

I’ve banked with the Co-Op for 42 years . Whether I contact the local branch or the call centre I receive a pleasant response from knowledgeable staff. The bank has ethical values which are put into practice by its work in supporting charitable organisations and communities . Reviewed on: 8th November 2018
