My only issue is with the speed with which transactions are shown when you look at your account online since it does take a while to update. This does mean that you need to be aware of what you have spent recently (I for instance record all my transactions on a spreadsheet so I always have a detailed up to date snapshot of where I stand as well as projecting my cash flow into the future).

I also keep a spreadsheet for my Co-op account, But do find that if you check your balance at a ATM it's normally bang upto date.
(Not great I know, But an option if you have a ATM nearby, Even Fee charging ones will let you check your balance for free.)

to be honest I haven't a scooby's. Which account/card did you apply for? Might be worth giving them a ring and asking.

Online payments for council tax and housing benefit can't be paid for using Electron (at our council anyway), so worth looking into

You're right Merry but they'll take it over the phone! Didn't quite make sense to me but that's what happened. Assume it's something to do with the technology.

Sky accept Electron.

Hi again to you all, and thanks ever so much for all of your helpful replies.

Having had a good read through, I picked up on some people having a Cash Plus pre-pay credit card and would like to know more about it. Is there a monthly fee, and how much does it cost to set the 'account' up? Also, is there a minimum amount that you can transfer onto it? And can you transfer money directly from the coop cashminder onto it??

Thank you.
