Over The Co-operative Bank

Geschreven door het bedrijf

Founded in 1872 and born from the co-operative movement, co-operative values continue to be a fundamental part of everything we do.

In 1992, we were the UK’s first bank to introduce a customer-led Ethical Policy, which empowers us to make a real positive difference to the world around us.

We believe it's our duty to stand up for the issues that matter to our customers and which bind our colleagues, customers and partner organisations together.

Because unlike a lot of businesses, we haven’t just developed an ethical approach — we’ve had one from the very start.

Ethical then, now and always.

I now have a headache.I have been trying to reset my online log in details all morning and it's not going well. Cooperative are so suspicious of any single thing you do that , it's now locked me out. Every time it asked me to reset my password, it kept going wrong.And when you try to phone them, there is always a twenty-minute why??? I know i'm going to get a lecture about fraudulent activity , but I really do think that your reset of details needs looking at

Antwoord van The Co-operative Bank

I am incredibly sorry to hear about the frustration and headache this experience has caused you today. We understand how exhausting it is to spend your morning locked out of your account, especially when trying to navigate our security measures and facing long wait times on the phone. While we have these security protocols in place to protect your account, we completely agree that the reset process should be smooth and straightforward, and we will certainly take your feedback on board to look into how this can be improved.

We would like to help resolve this for you as quickly as possible. A request for more information has been sent so we can connect with you directly and assist in getting you back into your account. Thanks - Michelle

Updated review

Updated review. Appalling.
Since complaint about service, wait times and payment stops with zero communication I have three times in a month had the app crash and no response to my complaint other than a holding letter while they ‘investigate’ further. I can only think that the folks praising this bank are visiting branches and not trying to use online services or calling customer services. Perhaps the average co-op client doesn’t mind 15 minute waits for the phone to be answered and the app failing time and again but i do. I actually pay for the account too! Moving back to my previous bank forthwith after this dismal experience.

Truly awful experience

Truly awful experience. The incompetence has had them compensating me financially for their errors at least 4 times in the years I have used them. The final straw is that since their tech upgrade the website is glacially slow. Every click takes about 30 seconds to register. If you click again it decides you have double clicked which isn't allowed and logs you out. This is on a fast fibre connection and no other website behaves like this. It is painfully pathetic. It's by an order of magnitude the worst banking experience I have ever had.

Antwoord van The Co-operative Bank

I am incredibly sorry to hear about the ongoing frustration you have experienced with our services, especially following the recent technology updates. It is very disappointing to learn that the website performance has been so slow and is causing you to be logged out repeatedly. We want to provide a smooth and reliable digital experience, and it is clear we have fallen short of this for you. Your feedback regarding these technical issues is extremely valuable, and we are actively working to address these performance problems. Please respond to our direct information request so we can investigate this further and assist you. -Emma

What on earth has happened to this once great bank? Service seems to have hit an all-time low. They even reply from 'no-reply' email addresses to cause greater frustration.
Just as well they have plenty of excellent competitors happy to take my business...

Safe guarding your account

I received a call from the bank questioning a purchase I had made
The service was none invasive and professional, checking that I had sanctioned the payment and was happy for it to proceed .
I assured the person that I was very happy to receive any advice and checks that reduced the instances of fraud
So yes I would recommend the coop bank for the safe guards that will help keep your payments safe

Smartphone required for joint accounts

I tried to open a joint account, but it insisted on verification of the "second" person via smartphone. As I am one of many people without one, it was impossible. This is an arrogant assumption and discrimination against those without such a device.
