Review of the The Co-operative Bank, Current Account:

Slow and limited

If you’re looking for a basic current account, this will work fine. I also like the friendly approach from the Co-op, and ethical status. However, phone hold times often get in the excess of 1 hour and there’s no other way to communicate. The app is very limited in what you can do, and everything is just slow. There’s also little perks to go alongside this current account. Reviewed on: 11th March 2024

Constant hassle

Takes a ridiculous amount of time to get through on the phone, you can barely do anything on the app so no choice but to phone. Very unhelpful when you finally get through on the phone, and can hear other operatives loudly in the background. They usually make some sort of mistake causing me to have to waste my time ringing back. Complained via secure message months ago which they’ve ignored. Reviewed on: 25th January 2023

Great underrated bank

Can’t fault Co operative bank. All communication has been great. Reviewed on: 25th January 2023

Honest, careful, ethical banking

I bank with the C-op Bank because I can be sure that they do their best to invest my money in ethical ways that reflect my views. They also make the effort to find out what's important to me regarding money and investing. Reviewed on: 18th January 2023

Account that's almost ideal for basic users

Good basic account that has recently been upgraded to a clearer layout; only issue that although pending balance can be seen, it is still not yet possible to see the details of such transactions Reviewed on: 10th January 2023

Shocking outdated banking and awful response from call handler in fraud team

This bank is shockingly outdated and blaming visa for continuously blocking my card and account . When it is their systems, as other banks are not blocking as frequently as this, I mean after 2 or 3 transactions !! Manager very defensive as soon as she comes on the phone and unable to show any empathy or willingness to solve the issues ! Terrible managerial skills ! I would not recommend using this bank , call system is awful , have to wait for 60 mins at least , and they really do not appear to care ! Moving to another bank as we don’t have to put up with this shocking customer service ! Reviewed on: 6th December 2022
