The Co-operative Bank

Founded in 1872, we were born from the co-operative movement, and co-operative values continue to be a fundamental part of everything we do. It's these co-operative values that led us to becoming the UK's first bank to introduce a customer-led Ethical Policy, and empower us to make a real positive difference to the world around us. Something that still makes us unique to this day. We believe it's our duty to stand up for the issues that matter to our customers and which bind our colleagues, customers and partner organisations together. Because unlike a lot of businesses, we haven't just developed an ethical approach - we've had one from the very start.
