Ethical Banking - The Co-operative Bank

A bank that gives you more

The Co-operative Bank has a natural affinity with the aims and values of the National Union of Students (NUS) and this has been shown through our past collaborations and continuing work in our commitment to ‘Inspiring Young People’ (see below). We are also the only UK high street bank with a customer-led Ethical Policy which governs the way we do business.

Even more reasons to bank with us

It’s a challenging time to be a young person in Britain, so we’ve established a community program – Inspiring Young People – which is set to directly benefit 250,000 young people across the UK. We’re supporting young people to become active citizens – opening up ways for them to change their world for the better through co-operative education, opportunities and campaigning.

Following the introduction of our Ethical Policy in 1992, The Co-operative Bank has withheld more than £1 billion of funding from business activities that conflict with our customers ethical concerns, whilst at the same time, it has increased total commercial lending sixteen-fold to almost £9 billion. So you know when you bank with us, you can have the confidence that your money is in a safe, stable and responsible home.
