Shawbrook vies for £3.5bn Co-operative Bank merger

The Co-operative Bank chat

Some people’s wages haven’t been paid into their Co-op/Smile accounts this month… (If we already have a general chat thread for co-op, apologies. I did search for one, honest.)

[JIMMWX (Village Idiot)]

Interesting. Do the coop offer mortgages? Can’t see why a savings bank would want to buy them otherwise.

@JIMMWX

Do the coop offer mortgages?

Yes. As well as business and commercial accounts (and Smile)

[phildawson (Sorry, I will have to escalate this.)]

Just let them go bust and scoop them up for three pound fifty.

@phildawson

and scoop them up

But not this part.
