    working fine for me just now
  • Not working if you are applying on-line for a current account. Phoned Co-op , who advised there was a problem with people logging onto online banking as well.

    Ok, might be a problem for some, but definitely still working fine for me as far as I can see, have just been online again to move some money out.

    They do have a scheduled outage soon:
    Our internet banking, mobile app and telephone banking systems will be down for further planned essential maintenance work from 3.00am, Saturday 11 February to 11.30pm, Sunday 12 February.

    Working ok this afternoon so transferred my Halifax Rewards current account to coop current account. Should get a £110 bonus and £4 per month from coop. Much better than the £3 per month that I got with Halifax,

    Have to find my next bank target. Could be HSBC.

    You could also open a new Halifax (switch to them if you haven't had a switching bonus before) even though you have switched your old one away and get £7 per month, £4 from Co-op and £3 from Halifax
    It may sometimes seem like I can't spell, I can, I just can't type

    No, but there is no guarantee that Halifax, or any other bank, will let you open a current account. Nothing to lose by trying though.

    Thanks. You are right. I phoned Halifax and they advised that I was entitled to open another Rewards account.

    I will wait for my Co-op account to be opened and for my Reward account to be closed before I apply for another Reward account. For info, I have already opened a new current account with N/wide. I will create 2 direct debits over the next few weeks before I transfer it to my new Rewards account. Halifax should also give me a switching bonus as I have not had one before.

    I can see a game starting to happen here.

    Have you opened a Nationwide FlexDirect? if so, have you no use for 5% interest on £2500 and a 5% Regular Saver?

    Think a little more creatively about switching accounts;)
