Mission & Purpose

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. We haven’t financed the production or extraction of fossil fuels for over 20 years and we won’t do business with organisations that fail to implement basic human rights. Do you know how your bank invests your money? Not many people do.
