Customer focused

The Co-operative Bank have always given me excellent customer service. Have always been friendly and always stayed to the problem was resolved. Would highly recommend Reviewed on: 14th November 2017

Love banking with the co-op

5
Co-op bank is great. It may not have a big presence on the high street but they couldn't make online and telephone banking easier, and with their paying in available through the Post office as well as Co-op bank and Britannia there is no problem for offline transactions either. Customer service is a dream, I have never had a bad customer service/telephone banking issue. They are far quicker to answer the phone than most and are always pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable. I know they've had their ups and downs over the past few years but they have been transparent throughout, and what's not to love about ethical banking with transparency and great customer service?

Ethical good quality bank

5
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.
