It's such a shame. I wanted to bank with co-op for ethical reasons but it's just not worth the hassle. Their systems are archaic, inefficient and slow. Customer services is under resourced and have very little power to help with issues as they're restricted by the inefficient systems in place.
The simplest of things takes forever, every time you try and contact them you're on hold for ages and very little is resolved. I just don't have the time, they're slowing down the effective running of my business so sadly I will be taking my custom elsewhere. This is my second time trying business banking with co-op, I convinced myself to give them another go and immediately regretted it.
