Ratings and Reviews
Let’s hope the Update works
Once again trying to log on to the app on 6th Oct and the app freezes while trying to open.
Little wonder the app has the deplorable 1.6 / 5 rating.
When are you going to sort this, it’s been going on for years.
Look at the HSBC app first time every time
Every poor review receives the same bland response from Michelle who I think must be totally embarrassed with the amount of terrible reviews she has to respond to. Every person is saying the same thing but as a business Coop Business Banking are just not addressing the issues. Even since the app update I have had log on issues. Had it not been for the FSB / COOP bank link I would have left Coop months / years ago, I am totally amazed that the senior management are not looking at these ongoing awful reviews and ensuring something is done or making sure heads roll for poor performance. It’s all very well saying contact customer service but as a business you make it virtually impossible to speak to the right person, just to get fobbed off by them or Michelle is just not acceptable. If I ran my business like the Coop Bank I would have folded a long time ago. The Coop Business banking app has to be one of the worst ever, I am amazed it has taken so many months to address the issues which have been well documented. I sincerely do hope that this app update does resolve the issues, tying to operate a business with such a poor tool is deplorable

Constant Issues
When it works, it’s OK, though still a LONG way from where it should be.
Making payments sometimes works fine. Then next time, it will get to point of submitting the request, only for the “processing” graphic to spin round and round for an age and then either report a failure or just get stuck and you have to force-close the app and start again.
Other times, the app will just lock up shortly after going from one screen to another.
Another annoyance is that when looking at you transaction history, the app does not show enough information. It will either show the account name for the account the transaction was made with or the transaction reference. You can’t touch on the entry to see more information. Then next time you login, the transaction entry may show the opposite information. It makes working out what payments have been received much harder. If you login to the Online Banking via a web browser, you can see more information, but for some reason, that information hasn’t been made available in the app, which is very frustrating.
Co-op really need to sort out their whole online banking experience, and especially the app, as trying to run a business is being made much harder by the poor quality banking tools, and I am very much considering moving to someone else where such issues are not an issue.

In 2023 a UK bank has an App like this
This has to be the most basic bank app on a phone I have ever seen. The security Coop offers really frustrates me but if it protects the money fair enough, even though fraud was still committed on my account a couple of years ago.
Getting back to the app, I can’t fathom how the dept who runs this app would be so tight in the funds dept to not have gone to a proper developer to produce an app a UK bank should be offering. The facilities it offers are so basic you have to go online and not via your phone browser but a Laptop etc it’s like they know how to do it properly but on purpose made it difficult and use security as a reason. It’s supposed to be difficult for the fraudsters not the user fgs. Right now because I didn’t log in to my account for a 3 weeks it’s logged me out and now I have to do the whole registration process again. Please Coop direct some of the bonus’s to the fat cats to the App instead and stop closing branches too. Merry Christmas
