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Shocking outdated banking and awful response from call handler in fraud team

1
This bank is shockingly outdated and blaming visa for continuously blocking my card and account .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

Great bank

They have green policies and have humanitarian leanings. They also help with food banks. Reviewed on: 13th October 2022

Disappointed

2
I have banked with the Co op Bank for many, many years. I have always been proud of 'my' bank for their excellent customer service but since the pandemic, I have experienced nothing but frustration. The last time I tried to contact Customer Services, I waited 30 minutes, was disconnected from the person I finally got to speak to and then had to wait another 30 minutes to speak to someone. The entire process cost me over £6 in call charges. Whenever I use the messaging function, to seek solutions to banking issues, I get a message back to say I need to call Customer Services. I'm exploring options to move to another bank. Reviewed on: 29th September 2022
