Always Worried

Very great account,

Excellent service, great account. Easy set up and process Reviewed on: 13th December 2017

Fantastic customer service

Co-ops customer service is second to none, they're faultless in my opinion. They did however refuse me a student bank account although I banked with them for four years, and did not disclose why. Whether that is a fault of the bank or an industry standard I am not sure. Reviewed on: 25th November 2017

HASSLE FREE SERVICE

I have never had a any real issues with the CO-OP Bank, friendly staff, online banking & the app!! Reviewed on: 22nd November 2017

Banking

This bank is very good with direct debits and paying out money in time :-) Reviewed on: 20th November 2017

Just OK

- Very expensive monthly charges - They no longer provide 24/7 customer service - They don't provide an 0800 to contact them - Their website often seems to be unavailable/undergoing maintenance or experiencing some kind of problem Reviewed on: 20th November 2017
