Digital wallets
You can use Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Wallet to make payments directly from your smartphone or smartwatch, whilst keeping your Co-operative Bank details anonymous.
We guarantee to refund any money lost to fraud, as long as you've taken reasonable steps to keep your details safe, you've taken sufficient care to check that the person or company you're dealing with are genuine, and you haven't acted fraudulently yourself.
We use encryption to protect your identity and finances when you're doing things like mobile banking.
And to keep your information safe, we'll also log you out if you've not been active for five minutes or more.
As an extra layer of security, we'll sometimes send you verification codes.
We send these when you're doing things like logging in, making payments, or paying someone new.

Tips to help you stay safe
Here are some handy tips that can help you stay safe when using our mobile app:
- We'll never send you an email with a link to a login page, or ask you to click on a link to update your security. If you've received an email claiming to be from us that doesn't look right, please forward it to ihaveseenascam@co-operativebank.co.uk or call us on 03457 212 212 (call charges).
- If you notice anything unusual when logging into the app, call us on 03457 212 212 to let us know (call charges).
- Never tell anyone the one-time passcodes that we send you – not even us. If anyone asks you for your one-time passcode, it's a scam.
- Be careful about who you make payments to, and be fraud aware. See our latest fraud alerts to stay informed about ongoing scams.
