Ratings and reviews

As of mandatory update on 22/2/24, the app no longer opens. Uninstalling, restarting phone, reinstalling app makes no difference. Up until now, I seem to have been fortunate that the app has worked mostly trouble-free. Admittedly it's not got as many features as some of the newer banks' apps. Coupled with no longer being able to make international payments online, without having to endure a 30 minute scripted conversation with a customer service operative, I'm starting to reconsider ethical bnk

Going downhill and quickly. It's unavailable a lot these days. The dates of the payments in and out are all over the place. The app is not what it used to be. Edit date: 28.06.24. Now, after the latest update, the circle of doom 'establishing a secure connection' has all but disabled this app. My ability to bank with The Co-op has all but been destroyed. Leaving you as soon as I have opened another bank account. Awful service that has been flagged by many people. Fix it!!

Been with the cooperative bank for over a decade. Joined because it was ethical. as the years went on, co-op stagnated as did it's features as a bank / banking app. Often I'm unable to gain access with the banking app. Glitches and bugs. The final nail in the coffin for me to move was when I switched to a new phone. There was a bug on the app that would not allow 'new users' to join. I was without the banking app for over 10 days. In today's modern day, that's unacceptable.

What's new

In this release:
• We've made some security enhancements and improved the 'help and support' section within the app
