European Association of Cooperative Banks

The European Association of Cooperative Banks (EACB) is a trade organization that represents cooperative banks across Europe. Cooperative banks are financially stable institutions owned and controlled by their members, who are usually local people or businesses. The EACB advocates for policies that support these banks, promotes their role in community development, and works to ensure a fair and competitive banking environment in Europe. Its goal is to strengthen cooperative banking as an ethical, resilient, and sustainable part of the financial system, benefiting local communities and fostering economic stability.
