The Co-operative Bank Current account reviews (429)

I chose the Cooperative Bank

I chose the Cooperative Bank for it’s ethical stance and the fact it has a branch local to my home. I trust the Cooperative Bank to make ethical choices in its investments and the companies it supports. Reviewed on: 16th January 2024

Good bank but poor phone contact

I’ve used the Co-operative bank for years but recently trying to contact them on the phone sometimes takes hours and is very frustrating. Their online banking is good however and I can manage my money easily. Reviewed on: 16th January 2024

Avoid

Stay well away their banks are terrible. They can block your account without notice or reason and hold your money. Stay clear of Co-operative bank. 5 days now we have been without groceries because they won’t release my money. Had to send my child to school without dinner money. When I approached them, they blocked me on X and Facebook. I also rang them and begged for my own money for food for my family.. they told me they’ll see if they can send me some food and then changed their mind. The co-operative bank have taken away our basic human rights. Never trust them and always keep a rainy day ££ at home Reviewed on: 24th November 2023

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

User friendly app

Personal account banking app is easy to use and provides a good overview of all accounts held. It has improved over time. Reviewed on: 6th June 2023

Mickey mouse bank

Bank app never working, consistent pending transactions. Bad customer service. After 16 years of banking with this company I've had no choice but to move and should of done it years ago! I've less stress in my life on my financial situation now. Reviewed on: 4th June 2023
