I have the everyday Saver

4
We have just changed to the everyday saver account from a normal account. I chose this as the worldwide insurance covered me for my medication I take, where as previous travel insurance companies were charging me a premium plus on top charged for cruises at a premium. This account costs £15 month but I can get up to £5 a month cashback, and you also get free mobile insurance and free RAC cover, When you add everything up, I am saving on what I was paying on just travel insurance without the other benefits Reviewed on: 6th November 2017

Fantastic! Do good banking. X

5
I love using coop as its an ethical bank, you get that feel good factor whilst doing essential banking. The customer service has always been what has stood out to me as it has been fab either on the phone or in branch. They have updated the online system recently too so please don't be put off by the stories in the press, it's still alive and kicking . I feel my money is safe and I'm well looked after. You could probably get an account with more bells and whistles but this does what it says on the tin. Well done Coop! X Reviewed on: 3rd November 2017
