Ethical and Accessible

5
Great all rounder, ethical provider, some small rewards for loyalty and friendly branches Reviewed on: 1st February 2023

Failure to deal with complaints

2
I made a complaint about an international transfer which they messed up (and charged me for). According to their Complaints Policy they respond within 15 working days. It is now 20 working days since I lodged the complaint and they have told me that they have no idea when they will deal with it due to a backlog of complaints. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Constant hassle

1
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

5
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
