Co-Op bank - £200 if you switch to them

Nope, I'm going to stay with them too.0

Me too. Although I agree that the website is really poor compared to First Direct where I come from. But to be honest I don't really need to do a lot more than checking my recent operations, and the occasional transfer. Customer service is decent enough.0

I wasn't planning moving from them either. So that's at least 3 of us
Not got my money yet tho'
£200 went in yesterday - completion date was Nov 24th0 -
I'll be staying too, though to be fair I was an existing customer anyway and already using the Co-op for my main account.
I was quite impressed today as I got a courtesy call from the Co-Op to apologise for incorrectly sending me a letter to say I wouldn't be eligible for the £200.0 -
First time poster, long time reader!
I got my incentive yesterday. I won't be staying as the internet banking is awful and there are no branches. Although the customer service is good.0 -
phew!.. got my £200 today.. completion date 18/11/11..as there are no monthly fees or penalty fees for not using the account I'll keep the account.0

Well I'm staying. Got my £200. Although initially I thought the Internet Banking was poor, after using it for almost 5 months, I have to say that I like is basic simplicity.0

My completion date was 23rd November and received my £200 this week. Yes, their online banking is pitiful but will stick on as they have no charges, I can push small amounts of money every month here and since it has 2 SOs, it's the account I will use to do a switch when the next offer comes along

Got my £200 today. Just in time for my birthday! Completion date was sometime towards the end of November.
Will be keeping this as my main bank account just for the slightly better ethics of the Co-op bank versus the others :A0 -

Well thanks guys (and gals if any are), nice to see some who view the Co-op as being good enough to stay with rather than just a "carpetbagging" tool. I sincerely hope they have achieved their aim of increasing their customer base rather than simply lining MSE'ers pockets!
The quotes should also have included Skaterboy, Peter999, gowgowuk,societies child and Captain Jmac but multiquote ditched them!0
