Co-op Bank?

Hi

I'm with the Co-op Bank - needed a Basic Bank Account as have debts - which I'm dealing with, but only at a basic level. Am quite worried as the Co-op Group seems to be in deep trouble atm, but don't know whether to try to change banks. According the MSE, the 2 best Basic Accounts are the Co-op, and Barclays - can't bank with Barclays as I have debts with them. Was looking at the TSB, but not sure how stable they are as they've only just come into existence!

Any advice?

Cheers
BriarRose

    your money is safe with Co-op unless you have more than 85,000 in the bank

    Thanks for that! I WISH I had £85k in it - but then I wouldn't NEED a basic bank account!!
