30 years with the Co-op Bank and still going strong!

I have banked with the Co-operative Bank for 30 years, and throughout that time I have found them to be not only very efficient but also very helpful, empathic and personable whenever I needed to contact them. Their online banking service and app are easy to navigate and use. I have referred friends and family to them, Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

Very good rewards system for an active current account.

5
Very good rewards system for an active current account. The account was easy to set up online and having a couple o direct debits and using the debit card actively activates monthly rewards which paid better than a lot of current account interest rates. Reviewed on: 6th February 2025

Co-op are quick, honest and help in times of need!

5
Co-op are a very honest bank! They always get back to you fast with your queries, and they are very good at helping if you've ever been scammed! Saving interest rates aren't very high but then they make ethical investments which lead to lower AER which I think are worth it. They have one of the best package accounts "Everyday extra" which offers really good cover for you and your kids (up to 22 years old!) Reviewed on: 4th February 2025

Provides good, trust worthy banking for everyone, from all different backgrounds and financial situations. Reviewed on: 14th January 2025

Not a lot positive about Co-op bank

2
The only positive thing about Co-op bank is the fact that it's a lot more ethical than other banks. However, the switch process is extremely slow and takes a lot more effort than it's worth. The app is lacking in a lot of functionality compared to other banks apps. On top of that customer service is limited and it seems as though it's a bank that's stuck in the 90's.
