I have been banking with the Co-operative for just over three years now and for the most part found them reliable and efficient. I do have some issues with them though which shall outline below. The first issue is the lack of actual Co-op branches in Sheffield city centre. To my knowledge there is only one dedicated branch is Sheffield which is on west street which also doubles up as one of the busiest streets in Sheffield which makes parking for the branch difficult, although to their credit they are disabled and buggy friendly and have provided a mini lift outside the doors by the steps to assit customers with access. The other issuse I have ...  Read the complete review

I have been banking with the Coop for just over a year now and i really do think that they are a brilliant bank. I was having problems with my last bank (Natwest), so i decided to open up a new account with a different bank, i tried Halifax and Coop. Luckily the Coop account was set up sooner, i decided to keep the Halifax account though. I am glad that i stuck with the coop as my main bank thou. I find the staff are really helpful and friendly too. They were also really helpful in setting up my account for internet banking and when i was having trouble with it, they sorted it out striaght away, without any problems. Their internet banking is so easy to use ...  Read the complete review

I've been with the Co-opeative Bank now for at least 15 years and I have had my up and downs with them, however find them relatively fair and I will still continue to bank with them. I always like to keep on top of how much money have and always used to be on the phone to them, arranging bank transfers and paying bills, however I used to find most of the time that I was on hold waiting for an operator anything up to half an hour sometimes in which I used to put the phone on speaker phone until some one actually took my call. When I first had a computer that is one of the first things that i did, set up an arm chair banking account so I was able to ...  Read the complete review

I've been banking with the Co-op for over ten years now (ever since I was a student) and I've never had a single problem with them. I'm amazed by the horror stories my friends tell me about their banks, considering how easy my life with the Co-op has been. I was initially attracted by their ethical policy: they promise to invest your money in as sustainable a way as possible, so it does as little harm to the planet and other people as possible. For example, unlike other banks, they won't fund third world debt, or arms dealers. Though I know they're still a business designed to make money, it makes me sleep a little sounder at night knowing that I'm not ...  Read the complete review

I'm looking for a better business bank account. But then - isn't everyone? Business banking rates are one of those unsupportable legacies from era of " entitlement mentality banking" which has yet to crumble the way personal banking is doing. They levy charges on you when you pay something in, take something out, or wiggle anything about. They do this BECAUSE THEY CAN, and we pay them BECAUSE WE MUST. Only when some upstart offers an alternative will it all begin to crumble, and until then, the gravy train rolls on. So. The Co-op bank sent me sales literature flaunting their low bank charges - ...  Read the complete review
