We are the original ethical bank

​

Who we are

The Co-operative Bank has been doing things differently for over 150 years. Not because we’ve been told to, but because it’s the right thing to do. Since we were formed in 1872 we have worked hard to provide an ethical alternative to our larger competitors. Our unique customer led ethical policy has been held for over 30 years and is one of the main reasons our customers choose to bank with us. Although the ownership of the bank changed in 2017, we have an unwavering commitment to the co-operative values and principles on which we were built and are determined that The Co-operative Bank retains its position as the UK’s leading ethical bank.
