The Cooperative Bank
The Cooperative Bank is a member-owned financial institution that operates for the benefit of its customers and community rather than shareholders. It offers banking services such as savings accounts, loans, and mortgages, prioritizing social and ethical values. Unlike traditional banks driven primarily by profit, the Cooperative Bank incorporates ethical considerations into its decision-making, supporting social causes and sustainable practices. Its structure emphasizes democratic control, where members have a say in key policies, making it a community-focused alternative in the banking sector.
