I bank with the Cooperative Bank online and this is my local branch, even though I live about 35 miles away.
That said, I don't mind too much as it is such a nice little office, giving out all the right messages for a bank branch in the 'noughties'. It is small and unassuming, the staff are regular people with no big-shouldered suits and no attitude. They are helpful and friendly and have always managed to do whatever I have needed that couldn't be done online. I also like the water cooler - and the cup of tea they once made me while I waited for a withdrawal to be put together.
If there is a complaint, it's that parking is a pain in the rear but that's not the bank's fault. 5 stars for a job well done. read more
