Easiest banking experience

Before I was with co-op I got money taken out of my account/stolen and my old bank would never help. I’ve never had a bad experience and they’re always friendly and helpful. Reviewed on: 31st May 2023

Efficient ethical bank with helpful staff

The Cooperative Bank is one of the few ethical banks which is why we decided to join it many years ago. It has a user friendly app, making it easy to check accounts and move money. We pay an additional fee for our current account for which we get worldwide travel insurance, breakdown cover and access to airport lounges, all good perks. Reviewed on: 31st May 2023
