Something fishy going on, co-op will catch it! I am very careful with my bank details and keep my cards in special little folders so they cannot be scanned without my knowledge, yet despite this my... Read more Reviewed on: 22nd April 2025

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

highly recommended!

Co-op Bank offers ethical banking. With Co-op Bank, I experience sustainability, community, and transparency. They prioritize ethical values and social responsibility in their banking practices. Co-op Bank's current accounts provide the convenience I need while aligning with my values. I appreciate their commitment to supporting local communities and their transparent approach to banking. Choosing Co-op Bank means banking with a purpose and making a positive impact on society. Reviewed on: 11th June 2023

Perfect

Straightforward and has all you need!!! Reviewed on: 5th April 2023

Switching after 20 years

Not accessible enough in regards to customer care opening hours Worst App ever never updates quick enough and has no view of pending transactions App is constantly down for maintenance yet nothing changes Poor online service Starting to think they have very lax online security and could be getting hacked due the amount of times the app and online banking goes down Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

not competitive poor rewards and interest

Bank was excellent but deteriorated in the past 10 years. Takes an hour or two to get through to customer services by telephone. Sometimes cut off. App ok. Compain and dismissed automatically and always "upheld" only still using as been with them for just short of 50 years. Interest rates deplorable compared to competition unlike previous. Sadly back to the days they were a piggy bank. What a shame. They need to get their act together. Can't always hide behind ethical banking to exploit customers by token interest and rewards. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Good ethnically

Contribute lots to community schemes Reviewed on: 14th March 2023

Good customer service

Worth considering for a current account, customer service is good and they do not appear to want to squeeze every penny out of you. Reviewed on: 11th March 2023

Does everything I need

Have been with Co-Operative Bank for a decade now. Never had any bother. They were helpful and compassionate when I was a victim of fraud last year. The app works well and my money has been handled fine. No causes for complaint in ten years. Would recommend. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

Ethical and efficient bank

I moved my current account to the Cooperative Bank as it scored highly as an ethical bank. I have been very happy with the service. The ap is easy to use, staff are efficient and helpful. I pay a monthly fee for my current account and am very happy with the additional benefits particularly the annual holiday insurance and access to airport lounges. Reviewed on: 9th March 2023
