If the Co-Op goes "tits-up" I expect the answer would be 'no'. On the other hand, I don't expect that anything that drastic will happen to the Co-Op Bank, so you should be OK. (Back up payment methods are always a good idea, tho'.)

Regardless of what bank you normally use most - - never go on holidays with just one card as your only source of funds.

If you, for whatever reason, can't have a credit card or a secondary debit card, then at least get yourself a pre-paid card or some other means of backup-access to money.

If your credit rating is reasonable, I'd suggest that you try to get a better card for overseas spending. Co-op will charge you a lot, you can get free foreign transactions from certain Halifax, Nationwide, Santander or Norwich & Peterborough cards.

Where are all these co-op going to the wall coming from?

Far more chance of your holiday company going bust, than the co-op.

If it's a Co-op Bank card, no.

Take cash if you are concerned.
