Is there any bank you have NEVER had an issue with

I've been with the Co-op bank for donkey's years (I'm an old git, too ) and never had any problems or issues. They are getting a little more 'pushy' on trying to upsell new products, but as the last time they did that I saved over £200 pa on home insurance, that's not a big complaint :cool:

I also use Triodos, but that's more because of their ethical stance than anything. Again, great service.

I don't think that's right that Halifax isn't a popular choice on here.

Maybe you're restricting your findings to a thread with only 1500 views and 62 (now 62) posts. Search MSE as a whole and you'll find that Halifax and Natwest are two worse banks, moaned about daily, clear in black and white.

Been with HSBC since I was about 13 so about 12 years. Can't think of a single time I've ever had an issue with them that hasn't been sorted quickly. And they've always been good to me. Wanted a Switch card at 18 - they gave me one. Wanted a credit card - they gave me one. Needed to get a £1000 loan - again, done with no fuss. Their online banking is also one of the best imo.

Opened a Halifax account in March. So may be early days yet. Moved to them from:

Alliance and Leicester.
Awful. Within a year I had racked up over £200 worth of charges thanks to them f**king things up. Left the moment I could. Will be putting in a claim for that but I'd never go back to to them.

To be honest, it's not about being good to you - it's about you meeting certain criteria that you're good for them. You'd likely find that any other bank would offer you exactly the same thing.
