The Merlin Academy of Traditional Music

The Co-operative Bank is the only high-street bank with a customer-led Ethical Policy. So naturally, we're delighted to feature our customers in our latest business banking campaign; people who run the small to medium-sized enterprises that are helping to transform our local communities. 

Here, Bridget from The Merlin Academy of Traditional Music, tells us why they chose The Co-operative Bank:

"The Merlin Academy of Traditional Music is passionate about providing first class music tuition in a fun and inclusive environment. We believe music is a life-long skill that builds confidence and self-esteem, bringing people together whatever their race or religion. 

We're proud to bank with The Co-operative Bank because of their strong ethical values, and because we know our money won't be used in ways that conflict with our beliefs. The excellent rates available to us through the FSB have been vital to supporting our small business for many years. We also do most of our banking online, which is extremely simple to use. As well as making everyday banking really easy, the bank regularly sends us advice about how to stay safe online and how to avoid security breaches or fraud. Whenever we need to speak to the online banking team, the call is answered quickly and they are so friendly and ready to help. With The Co-operative Bank we're in safe hands."
