Go with the co-op. I managed to get their Smile stuff to work with my
accessible browser collection (tho' in at least one version, the text
was invisible unless selected.) They send out regular "what ethical
policy would you like next" questionnaires, actually have an ethical
policy, have a method for tracking it, and, best of all, if they f'
anything up, *they pay you £10 automatically*.

Don't think about Lloyds/TSB if you ever want to do anything difficult,
like accept money from abroad. Their business service is, IMHO, a
stinking pile of cack. (Their own people cuss their business service
department). Amongst other things, they managed to lose all their copies
of the signatures for our account. No, they didn't tell us...

HTH,

cheers, Rich.
