The Co-operative Bank Current account reviews (426)

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

5
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

2
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

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
