Brittania/ co op

Does any one know about the merger with the co op and brittania BS?
read about it in paper at weekend. It seems you can now use the brittania to pay in cheques etc to co op accounts. Dont know if its usefull to anyone?

  • The other good thing is you can take your ID info to the Brittania and they will certify it so you can open a Cashminder if you don't want to post things or live too far away from a Co-op bank.

    It happened over 2 years ago, I've seen a few posters about saying you can now open Co-Op bank accounts at Britannia including a cashminder one it seems:

    Still think it would be handy to have in the sticky, if not already mentioned in there. Plus the post #2 info.

    Does anybody know if you could use a Brittania branch to change your name on a Co-op account, with a marriage cert?

    I guess it's worth a try as they are now linked. If Britannia can take ID for a new Co-Op account then theoretically they should be able to deal with change of name ID too.

    Cheers, I'll give the branch a ring first to make sure :)

    I only know cos a family member works for them. I've only seen the billboards recently about opening a Co-Op account at Britannia, so that part of it all is new.
