We spend so much time sat here moaning and going on about how bad a bank is, but for once i need to give praise to one!

I have no credit rating and struggle to even get a Nat-West Step Account (was declined!), but Co-Operative Bank have setup their Cashminder account which gives you alot more than the normal basic accounts.

It gives you the Visa Electron card, internet banking, telephone banking and free branch withdrawls/deposits.

After searching through all the lists this seems to be a good deal!

Anyone know what ID is required to open an account with the Co-op?

As far as I am aware, I was advised to bring proof of ID i.e. Passport/Driving licence and also proof of address i.e. council tax bill.

Apart from that, bring yourself!
