Looking to change your bank?

Switching to The Co-operative Bank couldn't be easier.

Businesses like yours demand the best in financial services. But if your bank isn't delivering the service you want, there's no need to worry - changing banks isn't the lengthy, complex process that you might think.

At The Co-operative Bank, our specialist Account Switching Team is ready to take care of every step of your transition. Indeed, as soon as we've approved your application, your account can be fully up and running within ten working days.

Once we have your details, the process is simple:

• We promise to start processing your application within 48 hours
• Our Account Switching Team contacts your old bank, to obtain a list of all your Direct Debits and standing orders
• The team writes to you to confirm which of these you wish to keep, and the dates from which they should be effective
• With your approval, we then request that your old account be closed and any balance transferred across

Our promise is to open your account without any errors. But if we do make a mistake at any point, we'll apologise and credit your account with £25.

Switching to The Co-operative Bank really is that easy. So if you feel it's time for a change, contact our Account Switching Team and start the move today.
