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

Our specialist Account Switching Team is ready to take care of every step of your transition. 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.
