Banking for charities

The Co-operative Bank has a natural affinity with the aims and values of charities and voluntary organisations and we are still the only UK high street bank with a customer-led Ethical Policy. Over the years we have built up an impressive range of customers within the sector, from smaller local charities to high profile international organisations.

Our success in working throughout England has led to the launch of our new Scottish charity and social team. The specialist unit is based in Edinburgh and Glasgow and is committed to offering the country’s charitable organisations an alternative to the traditional banks.

  • a range of loan finance solutions to meet your borrowing needs
