Our Expert Opinion on The Co-operative Bank Online Cash ISA

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

The Co-operative Bank's Online Cash ISA pays 2.00%, which is below the market average for Cash ISAs and sits 3.12% behind the current category leader at 5.12%. At 1.10% below August 2026 CPI of 3.1%, your savings are also losing ground to inflation in real terms. The account accepts transfers in and only needs £1 to open, but it is restricted to Co-operative Bank current account holders, so most savers would be better served looking elsewhere, with alternatives like the Moneybox Open Access Cash ISA currently paying 3.80%.
