Co-op savings account?

Would you recommend the Co-op Savings account (or alternative) for a small, ethical investment ... portion of student bank overdraft? Thanks!

    How mcuh have you got?

    the co-op savings account I think is v low interest, try the smile cash Isa ( not the best performing its true) or Ive just put in a bit into a Legal & general stocks & shares ethical Isa - and getting 85 from quidco for doing so.
    you do need 500 to open it tho, no less.
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    We bank with Smile and Co-op for current account,mortgage, cash Mini ISAs and DD's savings account. Never had any trouble with them, and anytime I phoine them it's a UK call centre, which is very important to us.
