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

useless

ended my oxfam credit card without explanation told i could get reward instead by transferring my current account wasnt told they would refuse me same overdaft limit until after transferred Reviewed on: 9th November 2018

basic bank account

no touch and pay on my current card Reviewed on: 8th February 2018

fairly good phone customer service

good when you need to contact by phone but online banking never in real time and site constantly under repair Reviewed on: 7th February 2018

good customer service

I switched to the co-op after bad customer experience at my previous bank. Co-op customer service is very good, you get a native English speaker not someone in a call centre thousands of miles away, and they genuinely try to solve your problems rather than parroting a script. Reviewed on: 7th February 2018

brillliant app, great online access

Smile

Never had a bad experience with Smile The Internet Bank and the packaged bank account for travel insurance is fantastic. I had to use it and there were no problems whatsoever. Reviewed on: 20th January 2018

helpful

prompt phone answering, helpful, basic bank account open to all which helps the community as they say they will. Reviewed on: 18th January 2018

Current account

This bank offered a great incentive to swap and open an account with it a few years ago. The co-op offered a local branch which was used regularly and always had a friendly counter service. Unfortunately it closed two local banks and now only offers a counter service which is in a main branch over 30 minutes away. However banking online is adequate and easy to use.
