Written by the company
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.United Kingdom
Asks customers to review
This company invites their customers to review, whether positive or negative
At Trustpilot, it's all about human content. This business can also access our AI-assisted response tool which helps them draft replies.
How this company uses Trustpilot
See how their reviews and ratings are sourced, scored, and moderated.
Update number two which I'm now deeming as harassment:
"You’ve written a review for The Co-operative Bank, and they’ve asked for more details to better understand your experience. Just a reminder that you have 2 days left to provide more information or your review may be taken offline".
They demand for a second time MY FULL NAME, MY PHONE NUMBER AND MY REFERENCE NUMBER. NONE OF WHICH THEY ARE ENTITLED TO AND WHO SAYS THERE IS A REFERENCE NUMBER! THIS IS A WEBSITE TO LEAVE REVIEWS AND YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH BUSINESSES AND ORGANISATIONS!!!!
Trustpilot are as corrupt, unethical and not fit for purpose as the Co-op bank, and my genuine review will be taken down! That's how cartels keep their fake positive reviews. Do not trust Trustpilot people! Co-op bank's genuine rating would be 1 star, but they slimily flag reviews as fake to hide them. Will be finding new ways to get my message to as many people as I can about both of these corrupt, unethical, pathetic cartels.
Update: Now they demand my personal contact information LOL. Good greif. My genuine experence is valid, I will never use you again and now will NEVER touch Coventry Building Society with a barge pole. You are corrupt, insanely unethical and I hope karma does a top notch job of handling you. Given that your former chairman Paul Flowers was jailed for swindling an elderly and vulnerable friend out of £100,000, and all the other scandals your embarassingly face, its no wonder you treat long term customers like crap. Shame on you.
Their ethical claims are frankly one of the biggest oxymorons they could dream up. I would ABSOLUTELY advise you to go elswhere and avoid this bank at all costs.
Been with the co op for many years and have always been able to access them on line. I can keep a check any time my spending on my credit card. I certainly would recommend them

It is so easy going into the Brighton Co-op Bank, and having all of my queries resolved by competent, knowledgeable staff. I am grateful to have a branch nearby which is still open & serving customers.

I have used this bank for a good few years now and have aways found the staff to be very helpful and any problems I may have had were dealt with quickly and efficiently. A good bank to be a member of.

I have been with this bank 25 years. They bailed me out when I needed some money when other banks did not. Today they bail me out when I buy dodgy stuff on Facebook. This is the bank that had the crystal meths chairman and they have strong ethical policies I do not like but this bank helped me so much over the years I will not go anywhere else with my money. In addition, I can get a human to speak to in a minute or so. Their elevator music is horrible though.

I like the fact that it is ethical and a cooperative.
