I;ve found out the FSB give you free banking with the co op if you are a member, for the life of your membership...

sounds too good to be true?  Is it?

I'm with them through the fsb and there really are no catches, been with them for 18 months now don't think you can get better.

No catches - and your money is safe (up to £80k) if it goes down.

yes paid my membership for FSB and coop turned down my request for an account so complete waste of money

I used to work for the co op. They buggered up on the Lloyd's deal but they're not going down. No need to worry about that
