The Co-operative Bank Current account reviews (401)

New Year - New Bank

The basic bank account offered by The Co-operative Bank is straightforward and prevents debt. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Ethical good quality bank

Every dealing I have had with customer services has been fantastic: the solution to the problem has been found immediately and they have been kind, courteous and explained things well. I've been with them for over a decade now and could not be happier. And the fact they do not provide weapons nor do they fund horrendous planet-destroying activities like fracking. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Excellent service

Always helpful. Never had any problems and don't bombard me with spam mail Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Helpful and easy to use

Telephone banking easy to use. Online facilities not so easy. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Great ethical personal banking

I have been with the Co-operative bank for at least 10 years and have always been delighted by their customer services. Nothing too much trouble -a bank that works for the customers Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Mixrd bag

Good at the basics, including helpful, friendly customer service. And there’s still a commitment to some corporate responsibility, sadly lacking elsewhere. Poor for walk in or face to face advice, as there are so few branches, and of course they’ve made a hash of its investments in recent years Reviewed on: 7th November 2017

Banking with benefits

Really happy with my Coop current account. The on-line banking and phone app are easy to use, and the customer service on the phone is always friendly and helpful. I get Everyday Rewards which is about £5 a month credited to my account just for using the account in a number of ways. The only downside is that my debit card chips seem to stop working now and then which hasn’t happened with other accounts - might just be chance though! Reviewed on: 7th November 2017

Poor App

I use banking apps to keep track of my current account - the coop app only lets me see 2 weeks transactions. It is impossible to compare expenditure to the previous month period. IŠ—Èm moving bank as a result Reviewed on: 7th November 2017

review of coop current account

good service every time I visit probably once a month Reviewed on: 7th November 2017

A Co-operative Company
