Is our Co-op Bank mortgage safe?

We have two years left to pay off our Co-op mortgage, which is covered by our Offset Account. In the light of current speculation, would it be wise to terminate?

    Unless you have a mortgage of over £85,000 and more than £85,000 in the offset account you are covered.
    Do you have any exit fees? if you left/paid off the mortgage NOW?
    Would clearing the mortgage use up all your savings?
    At this moment in time I am sure the coop would like as much money IN as possible.

    The balance in the offset account is not normally allowed to exceed that of the outstanding mortgage balance.
