The Co-operative Bank Current account reviews (429)

Efficient and ethical

We pay a little extra every month (£15) for an account that include breakdown, travel, and mobile phone insurance. Where else could you get all of that for a cost of £180 a year to cover two people? The Co-op Bank has an easy to use web site and their mobile apps are also good. We've been with them for around 40 years and they've never got anything wrong. We would recommend them unreservedly.

Efficient and straight forward.

Great mobile app helps me keep track of my finances. £200 free overdraft. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2017

Scam

This bank is not cooperating with my bank in order to stop a scam. I have lost £399 and this bank is not wiling to close the scam account (details below) and give my money bank Sort code 087199 Account number 04480495 My bank has contacted them several times and I reiterate that they are not helping Reviewed on: 30th July 2017

Good bank

I don't get actual interest on my balance, but I do get £5.50 per month for just using the account. Given that my average balance is quite low is a pretty good interest rate equivalent. Not had any problems running the account so would definitely recommend. Reviewed on: 24th July 2017

Great bank just troublesome times

This is a great bank with excellent customer services - however it has lost it's ethical edge and the future remains uncertain Reviewed on: 30th June 2017

Smile- it's the online co-op bank

Been with smile for quite some time now and have found them to be a thoroughly helpful and supportive bank. Their online and telephone staff are polite, helpful and very knowledgable. Reviewed on: 29th June 2017
