Smile.. No more interest on Current accounts.

A few years ago MSE was all about the best rates, best investments, best offers etc etc, Now its about how to stop your savings decreasing from inflation or bank charges ..

Remember that, if you are a member of the Co-Op, you do receive a "dividend" on the balance in your current account, whether it is with Smile or the Co-Operative Bank.

Note that you will now pay more to RING the co-op, personal bank account enquiries old number (their most used number) was 08457 212 212, their new number is now 08448 44 88 44, this will cost 5p a minute (plus I assume connection fees), probably even more from a mobile phone.
For me the old number was "free" because I paid £5 a month extra to my phone provider and ISP as a flat rate to include the cost of 0845, 0870 and 01 02 and 03 numbers.
Needless to say I will be complaining - and if that doesn't work I will refer the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

You can use 01695 53760 - useful if you have an all inclusive calls package to standard geographic numbers.

Been with Smile for 12 years. Just had £50 compensation from them for a screwed up transfer. Yesterday my wife's Smile credit card was declined despite having £2500 in various accounts with them.

Probably time to look elsewhere I think as IMO they have gone backwards over the years.
