Cahoot Reviews

I'll be honest, I never for a moment considered opening any sort of an account with Cahoot. Their savings account only offers so-so interest rates. I'm really not looking for another current account, certainly not in order to change from my existing bank. I definitely don't need another credit card, at least, not a standard credit card that is. On ...  Read the complete review

Cahoot - They rip you off Give you initial low interest rates then gradually over the last year they have increased it by 100%, my loan started at 6.9% and they have increased it gradually and now they have increased it to 14.9%. They welcome you as a new customer then increase charges and interest once they have you - my advice stay away and ...  Read the complete review

You know the NatWest adverts, where customers 'enthuse' about how their bank has cut their service levels 'in order to provide a better service'? Every time I see or hear these, I think of my experiences with Cahoot. The thing with Cahoot is, I don't think it's fundamentally a bad product. I like the convenience ...  Read the complete review

Being a bit of an internet junkie, if there's anything I need the net is always the first place I look. CDs, books, games... and bank accounts. I'm fed up with paying Lloyds TSB £5 every month for 'extras' that I don't want, and I'd also like a bigger interest free overdraft than the hugely generous £50 they give me. ...  Read the complete review

With Cahoot's Webcard you get a new credit card number for every purchase and what's more, YOU control how much money can be charged. Each Webcard is only valid for a month & once it's used it is invalid. An old Webcard is no use to hackers or dubious traders, and it's easy to check if a payment has been taken. ...  Read the complete review

I am one of those people that will change banks or credit cards at the drop of a hat, there isn't anyone out there that seems to care about loyalty or even basic customer care, so why should I have any to them. So when Cahoot began their online banking system I thought I will give this a go and see what is was like. I ...  Read the complete review

Don't quite understand why everyone hasn't got one! - Advantages: Simply the best deal out... none of this Egg style introductory rates which then shoot up after a few months, only 8% APR, and loads of flexible options on payments / fees / etc, At the moment they've got a 5% balance transfer offer on too! - Disadvantages: No loyalty scheme yet

In my other opinion on the subject of Cahoot finance, I praised their responsible attitude to tempering loan requests with a degree of realism, i.e. I wanted to borrow £11,000 for a new car purchase, and they would only lend me £8,000, presumably on the basis that they had never heard of me! Anyway, I took the loan out, and paid for the ...  Read the complete review

I was attracted to Cahoot by an interest free offer and I am glad that I was tempted. I had reservations about Cahoot as I had previously had trouble with their parent company Abbey National. Cahoot has been one of the best financial decisions I have had the fortunes of making. I have had a situation where a supplier went bankrupt and I ...  Read the complete review

After comparing interest charges and suchlike between various online credit cards, I decided to apply for a Cahoot card so that I could transfer the balance of my then credit card who were charging 19.00% APR compared to Cahoot's 7%. There are three types of credit card, each one with different benefits depending on your spending habits and ...  Read the complete review

Cahoot is an Internet bank part of the well known Abbey National group.

They have no high street branches & only offer banking via the internet or telephone(at national call charges). Cahoot was one of the ...  Read the complete review

If you dont pay off the full balance of your credit card every month by applying for and using a Cahoot Visa issued by Abbey National you could save yourself a lot of money. The credit card is a fairly standard offering with the option to transfer your balance from another credit card, so far so normal, but the normal interest rate is an ...  Read the complete review

After initially signing up to Cahoot for an interest only credit card account due to the initial offer of 5% cash back on balance transfers. For me this was a diamond offer I could not refuse, unfortunately they have not carried on with this offer so other Credit cards initial offers seem very attractive for a short-term debt transfer repayment. ...  Read the complete review

When ? What do I remember ? I remember a sunny morning just over a year ago when a colleague told me about Cahoot, the Internet Bank launched by Abbey National that was offering a credit card with a 0% interest rate for a year !! I remember rushing to their website, filling in the application, waiting for the postman and then ...  Read the complete review

You can't help switching loyalties with your credit card company at the moment, there are far too many tempting offers just now that will save you money, particularly if your balance runs into 4 figures! Having put a major purchase on my existing credit card and paying through the nose for interest on it, I was lured by the offer ...  Read the complete review

Cahoot is a division of Abbey National and is a great banking site. Don’t let the flash preview put you off the site can be viewed without using Flash just select the non Flash option. At present the interest rates are pretty high at 6.5% gross with £1 - £4999 in your account and 7.1% with a balance of £5000 and over if you choose not to ...  Read the complete review

When I recently opened a credit card account with Cahoot, I thought wow what a low fixed interest rate. I'm not one generally for the initial 6 month low percentage gimmics as if you are anything like I am, it will probably take a bit longer than 6 months to pay off. By which time the interest rate has gone up to 16% again. Anyway, ever since ...  Read the complete review

Silly name. Why do all web companies have to have silly names. Then again, I'll let them off. Why? Because they offered me 0% interest for one year on my credit card. This offer is now closed, but it got me out of tight hole. And now I've just signed up for their current account. Why? Because not only do they offer a good ...  Read the complete review

For people with large existing balances, the cahoot credit card is a must. I believe that the balance transfer offer may end any day soon and I have no idea if they will replace this with a different offer. Either way, I would have transferred the balance from my existing credit card to cahoot simply for the money I save in monthly ...  Read the complete review

Cahoot, an offshoot of the Abbey National, started up as an online bank at the back end of 2000 and offer current and savings accounts. I've tried neither of these services,however, as the killer for me is the Cahoot credit card. TV and tube ads announce this as a fresh idea, and it sure is. Transfer the balance of an existing credit ...  Read the complete review
