Co-op bank for sale
Comments

Virgin essentials is a basic bank account and not intended to be a full service current account. Last year, they said they have ruled out the traditional high street current account, and instead are focussing on building a digital bank to offer current accounts through.
I suspect their interest in the Co-op is to acquire the business accounts, which is a market they are looking to enter, and possibly the mortgage books.0 -

And it's not like the Co-op's internet banking is particularly modern and featureful as it is!
Co-op internet banking does all I need it to, if a bit odd design wise.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
