Straightforward Banking

Our account was simple to set up and we can pay cash into the account via our local post office. Reviewed on: 7th November 2018

Everyday Rewards

Whilst other banks have financial incentives to switch, the Coop Bank rewards loyalty. I earn between £4.50 and £5.50 every month just by staying with them and receiving 5p each time I use my contactless debit card. The call centre is efficient and banking app on my mobile phone is very good. Very few branches now exist, but paying in cheques at any Post Office is easy. Reviewed on: 7th November 2018

Ethical and excellent

Super easy to open the account, brilliant customer service at every step and since. Smooth and intuitive online capability. Love the rewards offered but most of all their ethical standards are excellent. Reviewed on: 7th November 2018

Does everything required

Current account runs smoothly and does everything I need. Chance to earn rewards and no monthly pay in limit Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Highly underrated bank

I have been banking with Co-op for over seven years and have never had such good customer service from any company (a rare commodity in recent years!). Their telephone reps are always amazingly helpful and polite and the online banking service is very easy to use. When my bank card was fraudulently used some time ago, they were extremely quick, helpful and efficient in resolving the issue. Also, they were one of the first UK companies to have an ethical stance in their business dealings. This bank deserves much more praise and customers. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

The best bank in the world

I've been with this bank 10 years I've never had any extra fees or charges on my account and customer service are very helpful and friendly I'd recommend this bank to anyone they are very fast at resolving your finances. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018
