I had no problems with the Nationwide savings accounts, the regular saver is great.

I also have the Nationwide regular saver (2%) with my flex basic account. Really can't fault Nationwide.

Sounds like Nationwide gets the biggest vote, will have a look at that.

Have written to the Co-op to appeal just to see what happens. Just out of interest really and a point of principle!! I do get fed up with the way ex-bankrupts are treated, criminals have a better deal sometimes!

Sorry to resurrect this old thread but as KeepOnKnitting recommended, I wrote to the Co-op and so far haven't had a response. However when I checked my phone banking this morning lo and behold, I have an online saver showing as an additional account next to my cashminder. I transferred £50 into it and immediately it showed in the new account. No new passwords to remember, no additional apps to download, all will be in one place now.

So thank you so much KoK, without your response I would have just accepted the 'computer say no' answer so just in case anyone else wants a Coop savings account, it's most definitely worth a try.

Sorry, I have only just seen this. I did indeed send a paper letter. I would post the wording, but it was somewhat self-deprecating and sarcastic, so maybe better I don't give it to anyone as a template! Glad it worked out well for you elljay.
