### 5/5 — Fantastic bank

*2026-05-19, version 11.2.0*

Now that Cooperative Bank has added apple-pay to their suite of services, I think I have all I want in a bank: low credit card rates, quick and easy mortgage renewal, bonus interest on savings accounts, able to set up new ones easily, and the added bonus of a credit paid annually to shareholders - can’t think of more I need!

### 4/5 — Overall, good experience but

*2026-05-12, version 11.2.0*

Update the app icon to support dark mode. Looks out of place in my home screen.

### 5/5 — My favourite Bank

*2026-04-23, version 11.2.0*

Easy to work with, sensible and safe.  Everyday banking and the unusual.
Best of all I get an annual bonus.

### 1/5 — Cash deposits take to long to clear.

*2026-04-16, version 11.2.0*

Taken all day to clear cash deposit an my dogs couldn’t goto vet cos bank not processing cash deposits as they use too.

### 1/5 — I’ve found a bug that causes the app to freeze.  A very hard freeze.   Not quite reboot but V close.

*2026-04-06, version 11.1.2*

No obvious method to report it other than Via telephone.   FFS.

### 5/5 — Excellent bank

*2026-04-02, version 11.1.2*

The app is exactly what I need. Love how you can move money between accounts by swiping and you can add your own pictures into the accounts. Staff are always helpful. And it’s a co-op. Seriously love this bank.

### 4/5 — Can no longer drag and drop quick transfer

*2026-02-20, version 11.1.1*

I’ve Recently upgraded
Phones. Since the app being reinstalled to my
New phone I can no longer drag
And drop for quick transfers

### 1/5 — Quick transfer not working

*2026-02-14, version 11.1.1*

Quick transfer was working fine until 2 days ago when it randomly decided to not work. I have tried disabling and enabling it over and over again to no success. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. Please fix this issue.

### 5/5 — BEST BANK APP

*2026-02-12, version 11.1.1*

Well designed and fast - a joy to use :)

### 5/5 — Really good, but one request?

*2026-01-28, version 11.1*

Out of all the banking apps I have used this so far wins, but there is one feature I would like to request. 

Is it possible to add the ability to auto login with FaceID rather than me tapping the login button?

Other than that the app is perfect for my needs. Good job team!
