At the Co-operative Bank, we have always been driven by something different: an ethical approach to banking. That is why we are the only high street bank in the UK with a customer-led ethical policy.
Compare current accounts from the only high street bank that has a customer led ethical policy.
If you've got an existing current account, you can apply for an overdraft, or make a change to an overdraft.
When you switch your current account to The Co-operative Bank, we do all the hard work.
As part of a regulatory requirement, an independent survey was conducted to ask approximately 1000 customers of each of the 17 largest personal current account providers if they would recommend their provider to friends and family. The results represent the view of customers who took part in the survey.
