The Co-operative Bank

Our story began in 1872 in Victorian Rochdale and the co-operative values on which our bank was built 150 years ago still stand today. They are more than the foundations of the bank, they are what connect us together – colleagues, customers, the businesses who bank with us, charities we support and the issues we stand for.

Since 1992, our unique customer-led Ethical Policy gives our customers a say in how their money is used and commits us to campaigning for the causes that matter to them. Because unlike a lot of banks, we understand the power your money has, and the difference it can make to the planet, people, and the community.
