Public sector services

With its origins in The Co-operative Movement, The Co-operative Bank has a strong synergy with the specific challenges faced by the public sector and the unique ways in which it operates. Our regionally based Public Sector Team provides national coverage across the UK and our specialist expertise has enabled us to grow our public sector customer base by 80% over the past ten years.

Specialist products and services

We currently provide tailor-made banking packages to a wide variety of public organisations, including over 30% of Local Authorities in England and Wales and hundreds of parish and town councils.
