Very disappointed with the service

Very disappointed with the service at the Co-operative Bank Nakuru branch. Communication was poor, there was little transparency, and the procedures felt unnecessarily intrusive despite the bank already having all the required documents. The process dragged on for weeks and wasted a lot of our time.
As long-time customers with both personal and business accounts, we expected much better. Unfortunately, this experience forced us to close all our accounts and move to another bank, which has already provided the assistance we had been waiting for from Co-operative Bank.
Based on our experience, I would not recommend this branch to anyone looking to start or run a business.

Poor diaspora support team

It has taken more than a month to have change of status on my account. I have to keep sending reminders to Margaret the representative incharge of my account everytime I send an email. Worst of all she booked a meeting with me and never sent a link.

Unbelievably disappointing

Unbelievably disappointing ! the staff are lazy making no effort at all to provide good customer experience. They don’t make any apology for it either, as if they’ve got too many customers to handle. Whether it’s highly demotivated workers sabotaging the company or just ‘I don’t care attitude ‘ this is terrible for any business enterprise in a competitive environment.

Extremely Disappointed - 0 Star Rating for Co-op Bank Kenyaet to express my utter…

I regret to express my utter dissatisfaction with Co-op Bank Kenya's services for diaspora clients. My experience has been nothing short of a nightmare, and I feel compelled to share my frustration.

Despite multiple attempts, I have received no response to my emails. The designated phone line for diaspora clients seems to be a mere decoration, as nobody ever picks up. The lack of a designated contact person has only added to my frustration.

This level of disregard for customer communication is not only unprofessional but also unacceptable. As a frustrated client, I am compelled to give Co-op Bank Kenya a 0-star rating for providing the worst customer experience.

This is the worst bank in Kenya

This is the worst bank in Kenya.
1. Diaspora banking- the people you write emails never reply emails which I find to be rude. Reason being with one being out of the country the best mode of communication is via email.
2. They're very slow in processing things
3. Unprofessional staff

I wouldn't recommend anyone in the diaspora to open an account with them.They're better banks in Kenya with excellent services.
