Smile Bank Current Account reviews (100)

Easy and ethical

I like knowing that my money is not being used for anything dodgy, like arms and munitions manufacturing. Smile are very easy to deal with too and the online user experience is great. Reviewed on: 29th June 2017

On line banking hero

I love this bank, been with them 14 years and always had excellent service and they are always happy to help Reviewed on: 30th May 2017

Great customer service and easy website

The customer service team are great whenever you contact them and they're always quick to respond. It's easy to use the online services and app. I'd recommend Smile to everyone, especially students, as their student account deal is one of the best. Reviewed on: 17th May 2017

Great, easy to use online banking

Have had a personal account with Smile for several years. Online banking function is great and the overdraft facility is much better than any other bank iv been with. Good functionality - exactly what i need. Reviewed on: 12th February 2017

Ethical Bank

I joined Smile because I was looking for an ethical bank, and although it is internet only this has never been a problem as you can use the post office and co-op bank branches. Reviewed on: 3rd February 2017

No fuss bank

was a little disappointed that after 15 years of never going overdrawn I was refused an overdraft. But it is a bank that doesn't fuss, doesn't send you un-necessary emails or post, doesn't charge for current account and seems to keep on top of security. Reviewed on: 24th December 2016

Great bank

Does exactly what it says. Nothing flash but good online banking service. Reviewed on: 18th December 2016

Fantastic service

Straightforward banking. Easy to use app. Help by email is great. Reviewed on: 18th December 2016

Appalling new website

Current website is now impossible to use. If you manage to log in it is difficult to navigate. Does not permit you to manage your money. Get the impression staff are doing nothing but dealing with customers in despair. Reviewed on: 10th December 2016

Very dated systems and attitudes

Very dated IT systems make for a clunky online experience. The staff are very inflexible if there is an issue. I think the only reason they still have customers is due to the "smugness effect" whereby people stick with Co-op for reasons other than competence. Reviewed on: 21st November 2016
