Well it's a long way down the road but I would like to see a debit card offered again on the money manager account as it used to be.

It is definitely going to be handled very differently to the way Nationwide are just going to consume the Virgin Money brand over time.

I genuinely couldn't be more pleased that a Building Society have bought the Co--op Bank, couldn't be a better match and a great outcome for the members and customers of both institutions. That said, some of the publicity is saccharine to say the least, and this video is almost unbearable.

Yes, but most of us on here are pretty knowledgable about finance and banking - to us a lot of banking advertising (like The Bank of Ant and Dec) is pretty patronising. To the general public possibly less so.

Coventry has appointed Andrea Melville, a former Lloyds and Santander director to become CEO of Co-operative Bank, subject to regulatory approval, from June. She'll also be Chief Commercial Officer of the overall group, which will continue to be led by Steve Hughes.
